What began as a $50 million fundraising goal has quietly grown into one of the most ambitious community projects in the Eastern Shore’s history. Construction cost increases and supply-chain pressures have since pushed that target to $100 million — raising the stakes for the volunteers rallying donors, businesses, and neighbors around a vision for healthcare that will define the region for generations
Leading that effort is a couple whose roots in the community run as deep as their commitment to the cause. Charlie Capute and Beth Spurry serve as co-chairs of the campaign for the new Shore Regional Health Medical Center, now rising outside Easton.
Their connection to the hospital is personal as well as professional — Charlie has held previous fundraising roles there, and Beth delivered her daughter within its walls. In this Spy interview, they talk about the realities of a $100 million campaign, the shift toward a broader grassroots fundraising phase, and why they believe the new hospital will transform healthcare across the Mid-Shore — and help attract the next generation of doctors and medical professionals to the region.
