50 years for the CHUS
Since 1974, the CHUS has been watching over us. From Lac-Mégantic to Dunham, and Coaticook to Danville, people across the entire Eastern Townships area have been able to rely on renowned healthcare teams at this major university hospital centre for the past 50 years here in Sherbrooke.
Today, more than 500,000 people in the Eastern Townships have access to quality care, both specialized and sur specialized, close to home.
