Wireless Internet service now available to patients

Bathurst, August 30, 2017 – Vitalité Health Network is pleased to announce the introduction today of a brand-new, free Wifi service in our facilities for patients and the public.

Gilles Lanteigne, President and CEO of the Network, is thrilled to be offering patients this new service. "We realize that patients may find themselves in our facilities for short or extended periods of time and that their treatments can sometimes take several hours. Having access to a free and reliable Wifi service will allow patients to stay in contact with the outside world during their stay, will improve the visits of people looking after a loved one, and will provide entertainment for people in waiting rooms," Mr. Lanteigne explained.
