A new non-profit health research organization was launched in New Brunswick on Friday, pairing the Université de Moncton with Vitalité Health Network.
The New Brunswick Health Research Institute will connect researchers from the university and hospital network while pooling resources to tackle health issues in the province.
This new nonprofit evolved from the 27-year-old Atlantic Cancer Research Institute, with organizers hoping to expand areas of research to tackle other crucial health issues.
The organization will continue to support cancer treatment and prevention while tackling other issues such as seniors’ health, mental health, chronic disease prevention and improved performance in the health-care system.
“This partnership means that discoveries made here in New Brunswick will increasingly translate into better diagnostics, more effective treatments, and more efficient healthcare,” said N.B. Health Minister John Dornan.
