They are the comforting smile of the recreational therapist at a long-term care facility. The helping hand of the oncology transportation service driver. The attentive ear of the youth worker from Bien dans mes baskets.
They are also a new portable radiology device to facilitate the treatment of certain fractures, an additional echocardiogram to reduce waiting times in outpatient clinics, and an adapted living unit for psychiatric patients.
At the Verdun Hospital, your generosity supports the purchase of cutting-edge equipment, the creation of more comfortable and human-centered spaces, as well as essential services such as free transportation for oncology patients and support for vulnerable individuals.
Present in every corner of the hospital, the Foundation helps improve both the quality of care provided and the overall experience of users—from everyday comfort to life’s most challenging moments.
We will be launching a brand new project with Notre-Dame Hospital to expand and renovate the pediatric clinic so that it is better suited to the needs of children and families and can accommodate more young patients, thereby helping to relieve congestion in Montreal’s large pediatric hospitals.
In the 14 long-term care facilities we support, recreation is more than just a pastime. It is an integral part of the care approach, providing opportunities for physical, mental, cognitive, and social stimulation, while helping to maintain the quality of life of each resident.
Two psychosocial intervention programs use sports to better reach vulnerable youth: Bien dans mes baskets and L’Adresse. Both are offered in schools and contribute directly to the development of healthy lifestyles, as well as to the psychological health, academic success, and overall development of our youth.
According to public health data, our region has the highest proportion of vulnerable people in Quebec. That is why we are proud to support two key programs, Hôpital Solidaire and the Population Assistance Fund.
Hôpital Solidaire allows CIUSSS healthcare teams to literally prescribe free meals in the cafeteria as part of a vulnerable person’s care plan, while the Population Assistance Fund provides one-time emergency assistance to facilitate the purchase of home care equipment, medication, or access to care.
