Fondation Santé Urbaine helps deliver better healthcare — from birth to end of life — by funding innovation, equipment and programs across the 24 healthcare facilities we support in Montreal’s Centre-Sud.
Whenever the healthcare teams at Verdun Hospital, Notre-Dame Hospital, our eight CLSCs and our 14 long-term care homes (CHSLDs) have the vision to do more or do better, but not the resources to make it happen, we step in.
From state-of-the-art medical equipment to programs that support our most vulnerable community members, we help make better care possible at every stage of life.
Fondation Santé Urbaine was created from the merger of the Fondation de l’Hôpital de Verdun and the Fondation santé et mieux-être Jeanne-Mance, two foundations that had been supporting the Centre-Sud-de-l’Île-de-Montréal population for close to 40 years.
Rooted in Montréal’s Centre-Sud neighbourhood, Fondation Santé Urbaine serves a population that is among the most vulnerable and socioeconomically disadvantaged in the Montréal area.
Issues such as addiction, domestic violence, loss of autonomy, school dropout, homelessness, psychological disorders, social maladjustment, and degenerative diseases are pervasive.
