GUEST SPEAKERS: Sylvie Nadeau, Robert Allain and Dr. Clément Arsenault; the Mgr. Henri-Cormier Lodge and the Dr. Leon-Richard Oncology Centre, Moncton.
Sylvie and Robert discussed aspects of the Mgr. Henri-Cormier Lodge and the Tree of Hope fundraising campaign. The Mgr. Henri-Cormier Lodge, opened in September 1993, provides accommodation free of charge with reduced meal costs for out-of-town patients receiving cancer treatment at the Dr. Léon-Richard Oncology Centre. The intent of the lodge is to reduce financial stress for the patients and enables them easy access to the Oncology Centre. The Lodge can accommodate a combined total of 65 cancer patients and companions at any one time. This past year, the Lodge has accommodated 1849 guests. Dr. Arsenault, a physicist, discussed the Oncology Centre’s radiation equipment and how they go about properly filling the radiation therapy prescription. Sylvie stated that they hope to raise $1.7 million in donations for this coming year’s Tree of Hope campaign, of which 86% goes directly towards the Lodge and Oncology Centre projects. Here are links to more information. Sue Stever Bathurst Rotarian was testimony to the wonderful services provided by the lodge in 2014 during 6 weeks of Radiation Treatment in Moncton.
