The hospital foundations in the Acadie-Bathurst Zone of Vitalit\u00e9 Health\nNetwork this morning inaugurated new equipment acquired thanks to the Roses\nRadiothon 2019. They also took the opportunity to launch next year\u2019s event.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The objective for the 2019 event had been set at $150,000 but over\n$254,000 was raised. Thanks to this money, improvements are being made in Audiology,\nSpeech-Language Pathology, Gastroenterology and the Surgical Suite. Furthermore,\n80 percent of the money raised on the Acadian Peninsula will go directly to the\nhospitals in Lam\u00e8que, Tracadie and Caraquet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYear after year, people unite behind the Roses Radiothon and this cause that\nis so important to the future of our hospitals. It is thanks to events such as\nthe Roses Radiothon that our hospitals can provide care of such high quality to\nthe people of our region who need it,\u201d stated St\u00e9phane Legacy, the Network\u2019s\nVice-President of Outpatient and Professional Services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This press conference also saw the 14th Annual Roses Radiothon officially\nlaunched. This year, the projects targeted for the Chaleur Regional Hospital\nwill improve the services delivered by the Oncology Clinic, better equip other\nareas to treat cervical cancer and screen for bladder cancer, and add a piece\nof equipment used to perform prostate examinations.  The facilities on the Acadian Peninsula will\nalso benefit from this fundraising activity by acquiring equipment enhancing\ntheir health care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the members of the Roses Radiothon organizing committees\nhighlighted the important role of the community and of volunteers who, year\nafter year, organize activities to raise funds in the fight against cancer. The\ncommittees also took the opportunity to announce joint activities to be held in\ncoming months, such as the Pink Puck, sale of paper roses, and Giant Christmas\nStocking.  This year will also feature\nsomething new. Indeed, a number of key people from our communities are coming\ntogether to participate in the Movember fundraising event, with the money\nraised going in support of the Roses Radiothon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis year, one of the pieces of equipment to be purchased through the\nRoses Radiothon will allow a specific prostate examination to be performed at\nthe Chaleur Regional Hospital. Men will no longer need to go outside the region\nfor this examination. The timing seemed perfect for us to raise awareness of\nthis cause and debunk the notion that the Roses Radiothon is solely a women\u2019s\nevent. We are very fortunate that these people have decided to support us and to\nparticipate in Movember,\u201d explained \u00c9ric Robichaud, Chair of the Roses\nRadiothon for the Fondation Les Amis de l\u2019H\u00f4pital de Tracadie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\nThe Roses Radiothon 2020 will take place on April 24 in the Chaleur\nRegion and on the Acadian Peninsula.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
