History

Achievements 2001-2008
Thanks to the funds raised, the the Tree of Hope Campaign has financed essential projects which directly benefited cancer patients:

  • Construction and expansion of the Mgr. Henri-Cormier Lodge.
  • Purchase of a third linear accelerator for radiation treatments. Since its arrival, the waiting list was cut from several months to only three weeks.
  • Support of a unique teleoncology program for the screening of cervical cancer. The campaign's contribution allows this innovative telemedicine program to reach women in various regions of New Brunswick.
  • Purchase of a brachytherapy system to treat gynecological cancers as well as prostate cancer.
  • Support towards the Atlantic Cancer Research Institute (ACRI) for cancer research initiatives.
  • Purchase of education computer software for patients who visit the oncology centre.
  • Implementation and advancement of the Integrated Computerized Oncology Network (ICON), a system that allows the centralization of data of oncology patients.
  • Purchase of equipment for cancer detection and screening. This equipment enables the elimination of certain surgeries and reduces the number of patient visits to the hospital.
  • Establishment of the pediatric oncology program. The Info-Hope program acts as an information source for the public as well as for health care professionals.
  • Development of a continuous support service for patients who receive chemotherapy treatments in the Caraquet, Bathurst, Campbellton and Edmundston regions.
