Caisse Desjardins Île-des-Sœurs–Verdun supports Fondation Santé Urbaine with a $90,000 donation!
We are thrilled to announce a significant partnership with Caisse Desjardins Île-des-Sœurs–Verdun, which has committed to donating $90,000 over three years to support the Hôpital Solidaire program at Verdun Hospital.
This program, also available at Notre-Dame Hospital, allows healthcare professionals from the CIUSSS du Centre-Sud-de-l’Île-de-Montréal to “prescribe” free meals to their vulnerable patients.
These meals, provided at the hospital cafeteria or delivered to patients’ homes, are directly integrated into the patients’ care plans, aiming to facilitate or accelerate their recovery.
This financial support from Desjardins will help expand the program’s reach, ensuring that more members of the Verdun community can benefit from this essential service.
We are thrilled to count on the support of a partner so deeply rooted in the community. The Hôpital Solidaire program has such a concrete and immediate impact on people’s lives, making it only natural to partner with Desjardins to offer this service to our users in Verdun.
Valérie Duchesne-Carle, CEO at the Fondation Santé Urbaine
