Schrader Family Commits 8 Million to Castle Rock Cancer Center

AdventHealth Castle Rock disclosed on November 26, 2025 that the Schrader Family had finalized an 8 million dollar philanthropic commitment to fund the hospital's new cancer center. Hospital leaders described the gift as a catalyst for bringing expanded oncology and infusion services and enhanced patient support amenities to the campus, a development officials say will strengthen care options in south metro communities including Douglas County.

The planned cancer center will house expanded outpatient oncology services and infusion treatment areas, together with dedicated spaces for patient support programming. AdventHealth outlined facility highlights and the scope of services that the center will provide, and thanked the Schrader Family for enabling the project. Hospital communications also noted that leadership and clinical teams have spoken about how the contribution will improve local access to comprehensive cancer care.

For Douglas County residents the significance is practical and immediate. Access to expanded oncology and infusion services close to home reduces travel time for frequent treatments, and local availability of supportive services can help patients and families manage care with fewer disruptions to work and school routines. Bringing these services to Castle Rock also positions the hospital to coordinate more closely with primary care providers and community supports in the region.

AdventHealth provided project timelines and contact information for community members who want to learn more or support the effort. The hospital emphasized that the Schrader Family gift finalized an important funding milestone for the campaign and that additional community involvement will support completion of the center and the rollout of programs housed there.

The contribution underscores a broader trend of philanthropic investments in regional health infrastructure, and it marks a significant development for residents who seek cancer care without traveling to more distant medical centers. Community members interested in further details or opportunities to participate were directed to AdventHealth Castle Rock for updates and enrollment in upcoming informational sessions.
