A portal to high quality care
All requests will be carefully studied by our clinical counselor and the physicians at La Maison Aube-Lumière. Subsequently, the clinical counselor will contact the sponsors of potential patients, according to the order of care priority.
The patient and their sponsor will be able to decide whether or not the proposed admission time is suitable for them.
