Vitalité Health Network and its 10 foundations join forces to improve the patient experience

In response to growing health care needs, Vitalité Health Network and its 10 foundations stepped up their efforts in 2024-2025 to strengthen their collaboration and continue fulfilling their purpose with patients and communities.
At a meeting held on September 3, 2025, in Moncton, representatives of the foundations and the leadership team of the Network reaffirmed their commitment to continuing their efforts to improve the patient experience.
Over the last months, a project was carried out to improve the processes surrounding funding requests made to the foundations, taking into account needs on the ground, organizational priorities and the Network’s ability to support projects selected in terms of logistics, IT and infrastructure.
This new approach will optimize the impact of initiatives and ensure a coordinated response to the most urgent needs. It will also foster a shared vision of priorities, including better access to care, state-of-the-art equipment and treatments, and greater support throughout the patient’s health care journey.
The purchase of equipment is among the efforts to improve patient care delivery. Over the past fi ve years, more than $5 million has been invested in new equipment. On average, the foundations contributed around 17% of this sum. Thanks to the dedicated efforts and steadfast support of our 10 partner foundations, a total of $2,333,525 was raised in 2024-2025.
“Every donation, no matter the size, directly helps improve health care in our communities. The dedication of the foundations and donors is crucial in meeting the challenges we face. More than ever, it is necessary to work hand in hand,” said Dr. France Desrosiers, President and CEO of the Network.
