Research
The CHUS Foundation supports medical research through the Centre de recherche du Centre hospitalier universitaire de Sherbrooke (CRCHUS). Supporting research not only helps advance medical practices, but also allows us to offer certain treatments or care to local patients more quickly.
Through the CRCHUS — a world-class research and innovation centre — the Foundation is able to support projects that have a real impact for the benefit of the Estrie population. Medical innovation allows for better treatment for patients and attracts talented professionals in Estrie.

Fonds Cœur en Tête

The CHUS neuro-oncology laboratory is one of the only ones in the country to offer new treatment approaches for this type of cancer, which explains the importance of maintaining these activities. As this type of cancer is considered an orphan disease, funding remains difficult to obtain, which is why we need your help in order to continue our mission of allowing more and more patients to see hope after being diagnosed with brain cancer.
Research
Research on men's health
Health issues related to the male sexual sphere have long been taboo subjects and, even today, many men delay seeking medical attention when dealing with the conditions that afflict them. At present, in Quebec, there is no center dedicated to research on testicular cancer, a cancer with no obvious symptoms that most often affects men with healthy lifestyles and a high socio-economic profile.
Technological Advances
The CHUS Foundation contributes to the upgrading of high-tech equipment in each of the departments and services of Hôpital Fleurimont and Hôtel-Dieu de Sherbrooke.
This equipment is a true innovation in the medical field. It allows for better and less invasive treatment of patients, and for faster treatment of a greater number of patients.
Technological Advances
High-tech integrated operating room
The assessment of future needs indicates that the demand for surgery is expected to increase at a rate of 2.3% per year in our region. The addition of a new room to the operating room at the CHUS Fleurimont is a priority.
Humanizing Care
Humanizing care is an integral part of the mission of the CHUS Foundation. This focus is defined simply: Develop a compassionate environment conducive to healing.
The objective is to provide care and services with a caring outlook, responding to the needs of users and respecting their values and rights. This caring, human-centred approach is based on the quality of communication between the care provider and the person receiving care.
The focus is on the person, their health, their condition and their recovery or end-of-life process, not just their illness. The care team is sensitive to the suffering, concerns, questions and meaning that the person gives to their situation.
Humanizing Care
Fonds Urgence gériatrique

Every week, elderly people come to the emergency room with basic needs that cannot be met by themselves or those around them. The Fonds Urgence gériatrique was created thanks to the financial contribution of the Savoie - Les Résidences Soleil family and aims to provide concrete assistance to these seniors in order to improve their comfort and safety during their stay in the emergency room.
