Northern Star

The Northern Star, more than just a symbol. Let’s keep up the good work at Home First!

The Northern Star represents the strength of our communities coming together to shine, to support a common goal: improving our health care at home first. It’s a star that guides our efforts, a star that lights our way to a healthier, more united and more prosperous future.

“Continuing for health at home first” is our rallying cry. We believe that health begins at home, in our own communities. That’s why we’re committed to strengthening and improving local healthcare, ensuring that every member of our community has access to quality care, when they need it.

Our goal is clear: to ensure that every individual, every family, every child has access to the healthcare they need. This means setting up prevention programs, improving local medical facilities and supporting the health professionals who work tirelessly for our well-being.

Every contribution counts. Together, we’ve already completed several concrete projects. Your contribution this year will help fund essential projects for our hospitals.

Join the cause, make a donation, and together, let’s continue the fight for health at home first.

Here’s how to contribute to the Northern Star for your hospital:

Tree dedication: People are invited to make a dedication to honour or pay tribute to a loved one. In exchange for a donation of $200, the name will be displayed on a Christmas ornament, which will then be placed on a tree outside the hospital.

 

 

It’s possible to procure the mini-trees in one of the following places:

Illumination: The lighting takes place at the hospital on November 29, throughout the territory of the participating foundations. During the evening, people who have made a dedication will have the opportunity to place these dedications on the trees, and afterwards, we proceed with the illumination of over 200 trees in front of our hospitals.

Mini-trees: Symbolizing the renewal of life, the fir tree represents the hope we want to convey to people going through a difficult health period.  Those interested in helping make a difference for our care at home first can purchase these mini-sapins for $2, $5, $10 and $20.

Here are the mini-trees – Buy online now!

The tree, with the colors and shapes of the UNI Financial Cooperation logo, expresses a spirit of collaboration with the foundations. Decorated with stars, referring to the Foundations’ projects, the sections of the tree are superimposed in an ascending movement, and attempt to demonstrate the contribution of all in reaching a goal. In addition, the fonts chosen for their liveliness are arranged to create a joyful dynamic and to challenge the readers. The whole recreates a holiday atmosphere, a convivial moment that calls for generosity and sharing. Finally, a space reserved for signatories/donors at the bottom of the tree includes them in the collective fundraising activity.

 

State-of-the-art equipment for our Acadie-Bathurst hospitals

This campaign aims to give people access to quality health care close to home and their loved ones.
