新东安格斯长期疗养院是目前魁北克地区该类设施中最为现代的，其中不仅设有长期疗养住宅，还提供了护理，药物中心，康复和院牧服务，并会举办各种休闲活动。

The new East Angus CHSLD (Centre d’hébergement de soins de longue durée) is presently one of the most modern of these facilities in Quebec. In addition of housing its main beneficiaries, long-term care residents, the centre offers a range of services such as nursing care, medical day centre, rehabilitation, pastoral services and leisure activities.

艺术作品“Sous le grand arbre”完成于2017年一月，它镶嵌在四层建筑每层的天花凹陷处，响应了魁北克将艺术融入建筑和环境的1%program政策。

作品将游客迎入大厅之中，蕴含员工如大树一般保护住户之意。树是一个普遍的主题，象征了人的一生从萌芽到开花结果的整个过程。作品蔓延在每层楼的天花上，大树枝繁叶茂，充满智慧和经验，保护社区的同时，将价值不断传递给后代。此外，历史上造纸业在东安格斯市占有举足轻重的地位，采用树木主题亦蕴含了这一意味。

Sous le grand arbre was completed in January 2017 and produced in the context of the politique d’intégration des arts à l’architecture et à l’environnement du Québec, 1% program. The work is composed of numerous pieces that are integrated to the ceiling alcoves situated on 4 floors.

The work majestically welcomes visitors to the lobby, suggesting that the center and its staff play a protective role here like a big tree. The tree is a universal theme that expresses the life process, from the germinating seed to the flower that gives fruit. A parallel can be made between the evolution of tree and the human being. The big tree is also old and mature, and wise in its experience and knowledge, passing on values and protecting the community. Sous le grand arbre illustrates the scope of the tree’s role and its various components; racine, feuille and fleur that are spread out on the ceilings of the other levels. This theme has a symbolic meaning as well because historically, it marks the importance of the pulp and paper industry in the East Angus municipality.
