As part of its COVID-19 relief initiative to\nsupport front-line workers in the fight against the pandemic, the Canadian\nMedical Association (CMA) Foundation has contributed $50,000 per institution in\nthe Acadian Peninsula as part of its COVID-19 Community Hospital Fund. The\nFondation H\u00f4pital de l’Enfant-J\u00e9sus de Caraquet, La Fondation de l’H\u00f4pital de Lam\u00e8que\nInc. and the Fondation de l’H\u00f4pital de Tracadie are therefore very proud to\nconfirm that automatic doors and an outdoor shelter will be possible thanks to\nthis important donation and a partnership with Vitalit\u00e9 Health Network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Several changes have been made to our hospitals\nover the past few months in order to continue to offer health care services\nsafely during this pandemic period, but the main challenge remains the single\npoint of entry for our institutions in the Acadian Peninsula. The project therefore\nincludes modifications to the main entrances of the targeted establishments in\norder to install automatic doors that will prevent contact, always with the\ngoal of better protecting our patients, visitors and staff during this\ndifficult period. In addition, a shelter with pre-established space between\npeople will help prevent the transmission of COVID-19 and other contagious\ndiseases while protecting our patients and visitors from the weather. The\nFoundations are very grateful for this support which once again improves the\ndelivery of health care and services in our region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The CMA Foundation announced the creation of the COVID-19 Community\nHospital Fund as part of its commitment to provide COVID-19 relief. The $5\nmillion fund is helping hospitals with fewer than 100 beds across Canada adapt\nto the crisis through activities, equipment and training to improve staff\nwell-being, improve access to care and preparedness for future pandemics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am inspired every day by the dedication of the doctors, health care\nproviders and all hospital workers as they continue to confront the COVID-19\npandemic head-on,\u201d says Allison Seymour, President of the CMA Foundation. \u201cWe\nknow these are extraordinary times that require extraordinary support. From\nmanaging evolving health care needs to address changing care needs in your\ncommunity, to ensuring the proper equipment or training for your staff, our\nhope is that these funds will have a positive impact as you continue to meet\nthe challenges of the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The CMA Foundation, the charitable arm of the Canadian Medical\nAssociation, provides impactful charitable giving that furthers excellence in\nhealth care. To date, the Foundation has contributed more than $30 million in\nresponse to the COVID-19 pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
