La réception du Centre du cancer des Cèdres
The reception desk at the Cedars Cancer Centre
gg
linear accelerator bunkers and 12 exam rooms. These spaces house cutting-edge equipment
such as the Cyberknife M6®, an automated radiosurgery system used to fight tumours and the first
of its generation in a Canadian hospital. Our Oncology Day Hospital is designed with a mix of single
rooms and open-bay recliner stations, allowing 50 patients to undergo treatment simultaneously.
The Centre also comes complete with ambulatory clinics, a medical physics department, an oncol-
ogy pharmacy, a palliative care day hospital, and a Clinical Research Unit and Tumour Registry.
Additional efforts made to improve the human side of healthcare include healing green spaces,
such as a tranquility garden; the Cedars CanSupport Resource Centre, a quiet haven for those need-
ing to access its vast library of important health information or support groups; leading-edge equip-
ment and technology, and much more.
In line with the MUHC’s teaching hospital mission, the Cedars Cancer Centre allows our team of
stellar medical professionals to continue to pioneer cancer diagnosis and treatment while teaching
the next generation of oncology specialists. As such, the Centre has numerous conference rooms
and five team rooms for multi-disciplinary consultation and teaching. The new facilities are also
better positioned to support the crucial work of the Rossy Cancer Network – a partnership com-
prised of McGill, the Montreal Jewish Hospital and St Mary’s Hospital – leaders who strive to im-
prove quality, effectiveness and efficiency across the continuum of cancer care in Quebec.
g
Cèdres permet à notre brillante équipe
de professionnels de la santé de conti-
nuer de faire œuvre de pionnier dans les
domaines du diagnostic et du traitement du
cancer, tout en enseignant à la prochaine
génération de spécialistes. Le Centre dis-
pose par conséquent de nombreuses salles
de conférences et de cinq salles d’équipe
destinées à des consultations multidisci-
plinaires et à des activités de formation.
Les nouvelles installations sont aussi en
meilleure position pour soutenir le travail
crucial du Réseau de cancérologie Rossy
– partenariat regroupant l’Université Mc-
Gill, l’Hôpital général juif de Montréal et le
Centre hospitalier de St. Mary – autant de
chefs de file qui déploient de nombreux ef-
forts pour améliorer la qualité, l’efficacité
et l’efficience de l’ensemble du processus
des soins oncologiques au Québec.
