The Mgr. Henri-Cormier Lodge, which opened in September 1993, provides accommodation for patients who are receiving cancer treatments at the Dr. Léon-Richard Oncology Centre and who live more than 100 km from Moncton.
The lodge makes it easier to access oncology services. It recreates an environment that is as close as possible to family life. There are several lounges, a kitchen, a library and areas for rest and contemplation. Volunteers are heavily involved in organizing activities and leisure to make people’s time at the lodge more pleasant.
