Bravo! A team in Oncology has won the Prix de cancérologie 2022 for Belong, the app launched by our CIUSSS this year to support patients and families through their cancer trajectory.
The prize from the Ministry of Health and Social Services was awarded on November 17 to a multidisciplinary team from the Jewish General Hospital in the category of “Support for People Affected by Cancer.” The Belong app, which has been downloaded 280 times, offers patients and families bilingual information, resources, and support throughout the cancer care journey.
“Receiving this recognition from the Programme québécois de cancérologie is a real honour for our organization,” says Isabelle Caron, Associate Director of Nursing for CIUSSS West-Central Montreal. “This prize represents the commitment and dynamism by our multidisciplinary teams in Oncology toward patients and their families. A big congratulations to the teams.”
