The Santé Québec Estrie – CHUS is a healthcare leader in the Estrie and Centre-du-Québec regions and in part of the Montérégie region. By pairing increased accessibility with a human-centered approach, the establishment ensures that families across these vast territories are able to benefit from leading-edge care at the local level, close to where they live, thus reducing geographical barriers to the treatment of disease.
As a member of the Children’s Oncology Group (COG), the world’s largest consortium in paediatric oncology, the centre provides access to research protocols and the world’s most advanced treatments.
Thanks to its strong teaching and research culture, the institution is continuously integrating best clinical practices in an effort to improve the chances of recovery and quality of life of young patients.
The centre acts as a vital hub for the coordination of specialized care, thereby ensuring high-quality care management across the health networks it serves.
This new five-year commitment of $4,763,832 to the CIUSSS de l’Estrie – CHUS will support paediatric hematology-oncology expertise in Sherbrooke, give young patients greater access to clinical trials, and support clinical and research teams with state-of-the-art equipment.
Through this historic commitment, the Fondation Charles-Bruneau reaffirms its core mission: to cure every child with cancer, without long-term side effects or complications, no matter where they live in Quebec.
“Cancer treatment for children is based on research that is not funded on par with other fields. This research therefore relies on the generosity of people and on philanthropic donations.”
