The President and CEO, Ms. Rosemonde Landry, however, assures the population that urgent cases will be taken care of quickly throughout the region, including in Saint-Eustache and Saint-Jérôme. “A person in a critical and unstable situation is of course always invited to go to the emergency room.

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