(Moncton, NB—March 17, 2020) Like most members of our communities, the CHU Dumont Foundation is closely monitoring the evolution of the worldwide pandemic caused by COVID-19. As a precaution, and to protect its employees and donors, the Foundation closed its offices on Monday, March 16, 2020, until further notice. Staff will work remotely for the time being, adopting social distancing practices as recommended by public health authorities.

“For the time being we are not planning on calling on the public for donations. We are confident that the health care authorities and the Dumont UHC staff are closely monitoring the situation and will not hesitate to ask us to help meet any need related to our mission,” said Nadine Martin, Executive Director. “The best we can do at this time to support our hospital and our community is to help flatten the curve and practice social distancing. However, we are still available and ready to act if the situation merits it.”

The organization still accepts online donation at this point. Those who want to donate can go to www.chudumont.ca and click on Donate.

The CHU Dumont Foundation encourages anyone who has questions on this new operating mode to reach out by email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., or leave a voicemail at 506-862-4285 or at 1-800-862-6775. We will make every attempt to follow-up on calls and emails in a timely fashion. “We ask our donors and partners to be understanding during this period of uncertainty and know that we will adapt our strategy as needed as conditions change,” Martin said.

The mission of the CHU Dumont Foundation is to fully engage partners and the community in improving health care services offered by the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre. Therefore, management will remain open to any need expressed by the Dumont UHC during the pandemic and will try to help if possible. -30- For information or requests for interviews: Félix Arseneau This email address is being protected from spambots.

Featured event

Tree of Hope

81I6276


The Tree of Hope’s mission is to improve comfort and care for cancer patients through the purchase of specialized equipment for the Dr.-Léon-Richard Oncology Center, and by offering advanced training opportunities for specialized oncology teams here in New Brunswick.

Projects funded are based on the needs identified at the Dr.-Léon-Richard Oncology Center and in other Dumont UHC departments offering a continuum in oncology care, for example, the Mgr.-Henri-Cormier Lodge. Each year, projects are proposed and executed based on needs expressed and funds raised throughout the province and elsewhere.

Over the years, this campaign has also enabled the construction of the Mgr.-Henri-Cormier Lodge, where close to 2,000 people are accommodated free of charge each year. This number includes patients from outside the Greater Moncton area requiring cancer treatment not available in their region, as well as a companion. Funds raised each year also help ensure major maintenance projects at the Lodge. The Tree of Hope campaign also helps to support cancer research efforts undertaken here in New Brunswick.
