Board of Directors

«Since 2015, I’ve been involved in the Foundation through the organizing committee of the Generations Challenge. This is how I got to know more about the cause. My desire grew to give to the community and support the Foundation. That’s why I decided to join its Board of Directors. »

«It’s a privilege to be able to work with others on a cause as important as health. My youngest child was born at this hospital. My family, my friends and I have received good care there. But we need to make sure that everyone can receive the best care possible. That’s my number one objective in being involved: to mobilize and give back to society. »

«As a resident of the Montérégie, contributing to improving society and investing my time in an important cause was crucial for me. Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne has several large-scale projects underway. I hope, through my involvement, to have a real impact for the people in this region. »

«The Foundation plays an essential role in the Hospital’s growth and in the development of major projects. As the President and CEO of the only university hospital in the Montérégie, it’s important for me to sit on the Board of Directors so that I can maintain close collaborative ties. Thanks to the Foundation, we have concrete ways to contribute to the quality of life and the services offered to patients. »

«It’s a real pleasure to be a member of the Foundation’s family. Having been a South Shore resident for many years and benefited from the Hospital’s services, I really appreciate the opportunity to give back to the institution so that people in need can benefit from quality care. »

«Over the last few years, my family and I decided to get more involved in fundraising and to make a difference in our community. Having grown up on the South Shore, I always considered Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne indispensable. It’s a real honour for me to be able to contribute to improving the healthcare of patients in the Montérégie. »

«As the saying goes, ‘Good health is a crown on the head of a well person that only a sick person can see.’ I believe that health is the most valuable asset we have in life. Good hospitals play a crucial role in protecting this asset. They nourish strong, healthy communities. As an immigrant, I’m concerned about the many challenges newcomers face. Access to healthcare is one of them. I also strongly believe in community service. Sitting on the Board gives me an opportunity to give back in lots of different and meaningful ways. I can’t wait to contribute to this organization’s success in any way I can. »

«I discovered the Foundation in 2017 when I participated in the Generations Challenge for the first time. After helping to organize various events, I was very happy to join the Board of Directors and to get involved in the Foundation’s innovative and galvanizing projects. I sincerely believe that cutting-edge care and equipment not only change the lives and quality of life of patients, they change their perspective on the disease. »

«I come from a large family, so childhood means a lot to me, and I felt I needed to get involved with Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne. I decided to devote time and energy to this wonderful cause and to work together to advance the Foundation and the Hospital. »

«I grew up on the South Shore and Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne is extremely important to me. Giving back to the Hospital is fundamental to ensuring that everyone has access to quality care. I sincerely believe that the Foundation is best placed to make that happen. »

«All three of my children were born at Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne. I will be forever grateful for the amazing care my family received. I firmly believe that access to hospital care is a universal right. That’s why it was natural for me to get involved in the community through the Foundation. Community involvement is a value I hold dear to my heart, as does my employer, Desjardins. »

«I discovered the Foundation during Fondation Hôpital Charles-LeMoyne’s La Paulée event in the context of the Philanthropists’ Wine Cellar. I was particularly drawn to the Horizon program. It helps teens between the ages of 13 to 18 who are dealing with psychosocial or mental health problems. Every cause is noble. But this one touched me because of my life experiences and, above all, as a father of two young boys. Our children are the next generation. And not all of them have access to resources when they need them. »

«When you’re healthy, it’s easy to take it for granted. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned during the pandemic, it’s how truly fragile health can be and the vital importance of having access to quality care. I’m lucky to have a family that’s in good health. I’m hoping through my involvement to be able to afford other families the same privilege. »

«The son of a physician and a nurse, I grew up seeing firsthand the deep commitment of hospital medical teams. While I chose to pursue a career in management and entrepreneurship, I always wanted to make a difference in the area of health. So, I’m very happy to be able to join the Foundation and contribute to the development of the Hospital in my region. »

«I was born on the South Shore and I went back to live there. I was already participating in the Foundation’s benefit events, but I wanted to get more involved. Sitting on its Board allows me to lend my energy to a movement and give a helping hand to my community. »

«I’m so happy to join the Foundation’s team! It’s a new experience for me and I love new challenges. I can’t wait to get to know my new colleagues, attend to our donors, patients and health workers, help promote the cause, and be part of this wonderful group of people! »

«I’m very happy to be joining a team as dynamic and visionary as the one at the Foundation. Being involved in philanthropic causes has always been an important part of my life and, today, as a young father and new resident of the South Shore, it’s natural for me to get involved with our Hospital in accomplishing its social mission. »

«I consider myself a privileged person. I’m well surrounded, I have a job I like and, above all, I have the good fortune of being healthy! So, I feel it’s my duty to give back to others. By getting involved, I truly believe that I’m helping to offer people who need care the very best in medicine. »

«Since my son was born in 2014, I’ve realized the importance of having a comprehensive, cutting-edge hospital. Having recently moved to the South Shore, I’m very proud to sit on the Board of Directors. I have the opportunity to contribute to the success, evolution and innovation of Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne, so critical to the region. »

«I’ve been practising internal medicine at Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne, and involved in providing care and medical management, for 20 years. It’s natural to extend that commitment to the Foundation, so that we can continue providing quality care to the population we serve. »

«It’s important for me to give back and to make a difference in the community. It’s a real honour to sit on the Board of Directors. It’s a privilege to be able to lend my support to improving healthcare in the Montérégie. »

«I decided to get involved above all to promote and support a cause that reflects my values. The feeling of being useful in advancing our society, particularly healthcare, is so motivating and inspiring. We all have different personal and professional backgrounds and by pooling them, we can do great things. »
