EARLY RESULTS AND FUTURE POTENTIAL Since opening, the new facility has received positive feedback from patients, families and staff. “Feedback highlights the significant improvement in the care environment, including increased natural light, better organization of spaces, and a calmer atmosphere,” says Nadia Mathieu. “Families appreciate the more welcoming, accessible, and reassuring spaces, while staff benefit from improved workflows, enhanced collaboration, and more efficient clinical environments. These improvements contribute directly to a better overall care experience.” Beyond serving the Estrie region, the pavilion strengthens Quebec’s healthcare system by bringing specialized care closer to home. “By providing access to specialized services closer to home, it reduces the need for families to travel to larger urban centers,” Nadia Mathieu says. “It also supports clinical excellence, teaching, and interdisciplinary collaboration, reinforcing the region’s ability to deliver high-quality and comprehensive pediatric and emergency care.” Looking ahead, flexibility and adaptability will allow the facility to evolve alongside medicine itself. “Looking to the future, the Pavillon Enfant Soleil and Emergency room is well positioned to support the evolution of pediatric healthcare,” says Nadia Mathieu. “Its flexible design and advanced infrastructure allow it to adapt to emerging technologies and evolving clinical practices.” Most importantly, she adds, “it provides a strong foundation to ensure that the needs of children and families continue to be at the heart of care for generations to come.” For more information, please visit www.santeestrie.qc.ca/accueil 35 JUL 2026 | BUSINESS ELITE CANADA
