The PET/CT Project– a Community-Driven Success Story!
Contributing to the Foundation’s fundraising campaigns helps bring innovative initiatives, such as the PET/CT project, to life!
To the great satisfaction of our clinicians, patients of the Montreal Sacré-Cœur Hospital have access to a highly specialized care service in oncology and pulmonology, as they can now undergo PET scans directly at Sacré-Cœur– no longer having to travel to the CHUM.
The construction of the brand-new P wing has created modern, comfortable and well-designed spaces to house the famous PET/CT scanner, eagerly awaited by the nuclear medicine staff.
Dr. Valérie Levert, a nuclear medicine specialist and former department head, demonstrated patience and determination to keep the project on track, and her testimonial in our recent Liaison Bulletin helps us understand the pride and sense of accomplishment that has stemmed from the fruition of the PET/CT campaign.
A Story of Perseverance
There’s nothing more heartwarming than seeing a father and daughter team up! Here’s a message from Mr. Gilles Levert, Dr. Valérie Levert’s father, who decided to support his daughter through the PET/CT fundraising campaign.
His message:
“I write to you today with immense pride and deep gratitude. On September 18th, the Montréal Sacré-Cœur Hospital inaugurated its brand-new Nuclear Medicine Department, centered around the installation of a PET-CT scanner—a project that has been long-awaited for over 15 years.
This moment holds special meaning for me. My daughter, Dr. Valérie Levert, is a nuclear medicine specialist at Sacré-Cœur. For years, she and her colleagues have been advocating for a PET-CT scanner, which is essential for diagnosing and monitoring cancers and chronic diseases. I’ve witnessed firsthand their determination, their passion, and above all, their frustration at having to transfer fragile patients to other hospitals for critical tests.
That is what motivated me to get personally involved in the fundraising campaign launched in 2010. Thanks to the generosity of donors, the Foundation was able to contribute nearly $3.4 million to this project, making it possible to acquire one of the best PET-CT scanners on the market.
This is not just a machine. It is a tool for life. It means being able to make an earlier diagnosis, to monitor treatment more effectively, to give hope. As donors, you have the power to influence healthcare to respond to needs more rapidly.
I invite you to continue along this path with the Foundation, a path that leads to excellence in care. Every donation, big or small, helps to concretely transform the lives of thousands of patients. Thank you for being part of this great family we form—one that truly cares for one another.“
