History
In 1974, the first Oncology Clinic opened at the Hôtel-Dieu in Edmundston. In June 1991 the clinic moved to the first floor of the Edmundston Regional Hospital, where it was associated with same-day medical care in the Ambulatory Care Department. In 1997, to meet growing needs, the premises were modified. On July 4, 2012, the existing clinic on the fourth floor of the Edmundston Regional Hospital opened its doors.
