She always demonstrated a passion for her work and dedication to\nher patients. In addition, as a manager, she always encouraged the development\nof her staff\u2019s skills. We are very pleased with the agreement we have developed\nwith the Foundation to acquire equipment for Emergency Department and provide a\nmeans for a continued source of education needs for nurses in Emergency and\nOncology,\u201d explained Ms. Debbie Gammon and Ms. Judy Melanson, executors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This significant gift will be distributed as follows:\n$250,000 invested in the Emergency Department for the acquisition of equipment,\na $52,000 scholarship fund created in her memory to support Emergency\nDepartment nurses at the Chaleur Regional Hospital in continuing their professional\ndevelopment, and an additional $52,000 for the creation of a professional\ndevelopment scholarship fund for nurses working in the Chaleur Regional\nHospital\u2019s Oncology Clinic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is certainly very motivating and gratifying to\nlearn that a former manager and co-worker wanted to continue to inspire us\nafter her passing. I have very fond memories of Barbara and her gift will allow\nus to purchase important equipment and continue to support our nurses\u2019\nprofessional development so that we can provide even better services and health\ncare to our patients,\u201d explained Ms. Huguette Boudreau, manager of the\nEmergency Department at the Chaleur Regional Hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cProfessional development ensures we remain current\nwith best practices.

It\nis estimated that only three in ten Canadians have a will. When someone dies\nwithout a will, the wealth accumulated during their lifetime is distributed\naccording to provincial law, which may not align with what they would have\npreferred. Making a will does not have to be complicated, but it should be done\nwith appropriate legal assistance.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are extremely\ngrateful that the Foundation is one of the beneficiaries of the late Barbara\nBoyle\u2019s Estate. We were told that Ms. Boyle was committed to professional\ndevelopment throughout her career; therefore, we are pleased to create two\nscholarship funds in her memory, designated for the Emergency Department and the\nOncology Clinic, that will be identified on our recognition wall. In addition,\nthe trauma room in the Emergency Department of the Chaleur Regional Hospital\nwill be named in her memory to recognize her exceptional contribution,\u201d <a>explained Mr. Jean-Guy Robichaud, chairman of the Chaleur\nRegional Hospital Foundation\u2019s Board of Directors.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Chaleur\nRegional Hospital Foundation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 1990, the Chaleur Regional Hospital Foundation has invested more\nthan $12 million in projects touching the quality of patient care on top of a\ncommitment to invest $5 million towards the campaign for the major renovation\nproject at the hospital.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-30-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information:<br> Mona Doucet<br> Director of Development  506-544-2370, <a href=\"mailto:mona.doucet@vitalitenb.ca\">mona.doucet@vitalitenb.ca<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bathurst &#8211; The Chaleur Regional Hospital Foundation is very proud to announce that it has received a planned gift in&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4413,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fondationchaleur.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4417"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fondationchaleur.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fondationchaleur.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fondationchaleur.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fondationchaleur.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4417"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/fondationchaleur.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4417\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4420,"href":"https:\/\/fondationchaleur.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4417\/revisions\/4420"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fondationchaleur.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fondationchaleur.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fondationchaleur.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4417"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fondationchaleur.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
