The hustle and bustle of hospital life was on full display yesterday morning as the main entry hall of the Fleurimont Hospital of the CIUSSS de L’Estrie CHUS was dedicated to the memory of Ruth Elkas Atto. The dedication marks the first of a new policy under which the regional healthcare institution will be honouring volunteers across various communities who have made marked and significant contributions to health and social services in the region.
