Named in memory of Amanda Dempsey, the award is given annually to a cancer survivor who demonstrates a passion for helping others with cancer in the state of Maine. It is presented in conjunction with the annual Dempsey Challenge, the primary fundraising event for The Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope & Healing.

Campbell is a Dermatologist and a two-time melanoma survivor.

Stemming from personal experience, Campbell is passionate about the detection, treatment, and prevention of skin cancer. As the founder of Dermatology and Skin Health, he understands that skin cancer can kill if not caught early. He believes that access to skin cancer screenings and removal of suspicious moles should never be determined by insurance coverage, so it is his policy to see all patients concerned about a suspicious growth regardless of insurance coverage.

Campbell is an active participant in the American Academy of Dermatology-sponsored skin cancer screening clinics each May, giving patients in southern Maine and seacoast New Hampshire access to free skin cancer screenings.
