News about your impact
Outpatient Clinic for Eating Disorders amongst Adolescents is now operational
February 2026
You provide young people with specialized, compassionate, and essential care—close to home
Thanks to your generosity, adolescents living with eating disorders can now receive specialized, coordinated, and deeply human care at Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne.
The Adolescent Clinic for Eating Disorders is the first frontline clinic specialized in eating disorders in Montérégie. It responds to an urgent need: to provide young people aged 12 to 17—and their families—with rapid access to comprehensive care, in a safe environment adapted to their reality.
Eating disorders can be devastating. Early, specialized care changes everything. Thanks to your support, we can now accompany young people with compassion and expertise, at their own pace.
A tangible impact, made possible by your support
Your generosity makes it possible to offer an integrated approach that combines medical care with psychosocial support. Adolescents are followed by a specialized team—pediatrician, nurses, nutritionist, and mental-health professionals—working closely with families. This comprehensive care model allows for early intervention, helps prevent complications, and supports long-term recovery.
Care made possible by your generosity
Your donations directly support essential resources within the clinic, including a liaison officer and a nutritionist, ensuring continuity of care and better coordination of services.
They also make possible hope-inspiring initiatives, such as an annual therapeutic cruise offered in collaboration with the Horizon program—an exceptional opportunity for adolescents to rebuild confidence and begin looking toward the future.
Thank you for investing in their well-being
By supporting the Adolescent Clinic, you are making a concrete difference in the lives of young people facing profound vulnerability.
You help ensure families are not left to face this journey alone.
You allow adolescents to be heard, supported, and cared for with dignity and respect—at the right time, in the right place.
Thank you for offering more than care:
you offer a path toward well-being.
Thanks to you, a clinic for eating disorders will soon be up and running!

Dr. Gabrielle Spiegle-Morin has a message for you
In the fall, I told you about an ambitious dream! And I invited you to join in the effort to make it come true. Opening an outpatient clinic for eating disorders (EDs) in adolescents.
The numbers speak volumes, and I’m pleased to announce that we reached our goal!!! We raised $300,000 to support youth mental health. Your generosity is extraordinary! Thanks to you, the clinic will soon be a reality.
Adolescence comes with major changes—physical, emotional, relational and social.
Your gesture will help more young people overcome these challenges! At the clinic, various professionals will offer specialized and personalized support to young patients.
The whole team here is so grateful to you. Your kindness is invaluable to young people struggling with an eating disorder.
The first step is to recruit a nutritionist! I’ll send you a photo of the team as soon as the nutritionist is on board.
I’ll be in touch with you soon!
