The Fondation du CHUM was created on May 1, 1998, following the merger of Hôtel-Dieu de Montréal, Hôpital Notre-Dame, Hôpital Saint-Luc and their foundations. Since then, its donors have been a driving force behind one of the largest university hospital and research centres in North America, giving it the means to act faster than the disease.
By rallying a community of donors committed to the CHUM, the Fondation du CHUM provides it with a complementary source of funding, enabling it to drive innovation and accelerate its technological development, so that it can excel in care, research and teaching.
Every day, thanks to donations, CHUM teams push back the boundaries of medicine and offer world-class specialist and sub-specialist care here in Quebec.
“The CHUM is a vital institution in the city of Montréal and holds special meaning for all of Quebec,” says Paul Genest, Senior Vice-President of Power Corporation. “Its history, chapter by chapter, was written as the history of both the province and the country unfolded. Today it remains a shining example of medical excellence and life-changing research.”
By investing in cutting-edge initiatives such as the Centre d'expertise en robotique (CER) and giving the CHUM the means to push back the frontiers of medicine, Power Corporation is actively helping to improve healthcare.
