La Maison Aline-Chrétien
A Peaceful Setting for End-of-Life Care
Located in Shawinigan, Québec, la Maison Aline-Chrétien is a palliative care centre that can accommodate eight individual patients, including children, as they journey with their loved ones through the final days of their lives. Since 2018, la Maison freely offers its services to people from the greater Shawinigan area. The house was named in honor of Aline Chrétien, the spouse of The Right Honourable Jean Chrétien, who was a long-time resident of Shawinigan who made significant contributions to her community.
La Maison’s staff and volunteers collaborate with local palliative care doctors and other medical professionals to ensure it provides the best in end-of-life services and support in an atmosphere of respectful, dignified tranquility.
Power Corporation is pleased to support la Maison Aline-Chrétien and its direct impact in the community it serves.
This is a compelling example of a community coming together to provide support to local families as they cope with the loss of a loved one.
