Walk to Fight all Cancers

Together, let’s walk for more specialized care.

Fundraising Projets

Thanks to the generosity of our community, the new mammography unit funded through last year’s campaign is now in service, improving access to breast screening for women across our region.

The need for advanced cancer care continues to grow. As cancer diagnoses increase and demand for specialized procedures rises, ongoing investments in medical equipment are essential.

This year’s fundraising campaign will support the purchase of three specialized medical devices for the operating room, emergency department, and outpatient surgery clinic.

These new technologies will help:

• Increase the hospital’s capacity to perform mastectomies with sentinel lymph node biopsies;
• Expand access to specialized diagnostic procedures and surgical interventions;
• Improve the early detection of lesions and other abnormalities.

Since its inception, the Walk to Fight All Cancers has raised more than $1.6 million to support healthcare in our community.

We are sincerely grateful to our sponsors: Pharmacie Jean Coutu Julie Coderre, Sabrina Parent and Olivier Martel, MNP, and Brûlerie Virgin Hill.
