The President and CEO, Ms. Rosemonde Landry, however, assures the Laurentian population that urgent cases will be taken care of quickly throughout the region, including in Saint-Eustache and Saint-Jérôme.

Landry.
Several actions are in place to support the care teams, including collaboration with CISSS des Laurentides partners to reorient some people who do not need immediate care.
