The Fondation de l'Hôpital régional Dr-George-L.-Dumont was established in 1983 and in 2010 became the Fondation CHU Dumont.
The Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont Regional Hospital Foundation was founded in 1983 to ensure financial support to the hospital facility and, more specifically, its provincial vocation with respect to the specialized care offered there, as well as the hospital's research and teaching programs. In 2010, it became the CHU Dumont Foundation when the provincial government designated the hospital as a university hospital centre. To this day, it is the only healthcare institution to have this designation in New Brunswick.
