You Brought Gentler Care Closer to Home

Your thoughtfulness is changing gynecologic care for local patients

“This is a part of the body for which care is often delayed, and access to better treatment options may encourage women to seek care and receive the treatment they need.” –Dr. Jaime Reardon, Obstetrician/Gynecologist

Thank you for helping to bring a new CO₂ laser system to treat women with precancers at our Gynecology Clinic.

Until recently, many patients had to travel to Moncton for this care. As you can imagine, this would often delay treatment and add stress during an already difficult time.

Now, thanks to your kindness, patients can now receive timely, life-changing care right here in Saint John.

Thanks to your support, this new system allows physicians to precisely remove abnormal tissue while preserving healthy tissue and normal function — often under local anesthesia. It will reduce pain, scarring, and recovery time. This equipment will also be shared with Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) services, extending its benefits to patients needing care for head and neck conditions.

We're excited to share more about the impact this exciting innovation will have on our community in the months to come

This vital purchase was made possible through the generosity of caring donors like you, and a leadership gift from Saint John LNG.
