On Wednesday November 15, 2023, Valérie ROLLO, president of the "Roses en baie" association, and Véronique BELHASSEN, vice-president, presented a cheque for €5,000 to Dr Joëlle LACROIX, radiologist at the Centre Baclesse, in the presence of Sébastien SARRAZIN, health executive, and Aurélie BRETEAUX, senior radiology technician.
Thanks to a donation from the "Roses en Baie" association, the radiology department will acquire the Veinomène medical device.
What is a Veinomene?
The Veinomène is an infrared vein detector that makes it easier to infuse patients with weakened veins. Thanks to its infrared system, which highlights a map of the veins, the Veinomène can be used to select the best vein to puncture.
This device provides additional comfort for nursing/medical staff, as the procedure is carried out with precision, so there's less stress at the thought of "missing the vein". For the patient, it also means less stress and less pain.

Since 2013, this association has had 2 main missions:
- Raising funds for medical research
- Offer women with cancer, during and after the disease, support through adapted physical activity and creative leisure activities.
Every year, during Pink October, it organizes a charity walk called "La Marche des Roses"(The Walk of Roses), with all registration fees donated to advance cancer research.
Over the past 10 years, €200,000 has been raised to support the work of the Foundation for Medical Research and the association Ensemble Leucémie, Lymphome Espoir (Ellye).
In 2023, part of the donations collected during the Marche des Roses 2022 will be used to finance two Veinomène devices: one for the Centre Eugène Marquis (35) and one for the Centre Baclesse (14).
