A peaceful and safe place, imbued with gentle human warmth
Who We Are
La Maison Aube-Lumière is a non-profit organization, active in the Eastern Townships since 1997. Located on the CHUS-Fleurimont campus, surrounded by trees and flowers, it provides its cancer patients with a most peaceful and warm end-of-life environment.
The current Maison, custom-built in 2013, offers 12 spacious rooms with large windows giving a view and access to our magnificent gardens.
With its annual operating budget subsidized up to 50% by the Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services, it maintains free care and services thanks to donations from the community and its fundraising activities, which generate nearly $1.5 million per year.
Very well-known and renowned in the Sherbrooke region, La Maison Aube-Lumière is proud of the warm welcome and the dignified support it generously offers to its patients.
