CHU de Québec-Université Laval

In November 2018, the Fondation Charles-Bruneau inaugurated a fourth unit bearing its name, l’Unité d’hémato-oncologie pédiatrique Charles-Bruneau at the CHU de Québec-Université Laval!

$5 million have been invested by the Fondation Charles-Bruneau in this great project which allowed :

An increase in private rooms from 9 to 12.
Improved treatment spaces through the installation of 10 treatment stretchers in closed cubicles.
Improved living and common areas for hospitalized patients and their families.
A satellite pharmacy will be on site, as well as the research teams.

This unit will make it possible to meet the growing needs of both inpatient and outpatient clients.

This new unit represents an investment of $11 million. Of this amount, $5 million was contributed by the Fondation Charles-Bruneau, while the Fondation du CHU de Québec-Université Laval and the CHU de Québec Université-Laval contributed $2.2 million and $3.8 million respectively to the project.

This investment is possible because we can count on our dedicated and loyal partners. Thank you for being at our side for our children. Because of you, this new unit will bring a lot of comfort to the families and high-quality facilities to the caregivers.

Benefits

This major project will make it possible to consolidate pediatric oncology care and services as well as purchase specialized equipment for the pediatric patients from the Québec City region and eastern Québec.

In addition, research teams will be in close proximity to clinical activities, thereby facilitating exchanges and information-sharing.

In concrete terms, the redevelopment work financed by the Fondation will help children and their families by:

Adding more single-bed rooms (from nine to 12);

Quadrupling the number of treatment spaces (from two to eight) in closed cubicles;

Adding two negative pressure isolation rooms.
