Where do your donations go
Let’s give ourselves the best care and let’s transform lives!
Since its creation in 1976, the donations cumulated by the Montréal Sacré-Coeur Hospital Foundation come to nearly $85 million, and allow us to :
- Improve the care and services we offer patients;
- Purchase specialize and ultra-specialized medical equipment;
- Support research teams and offer research grants to attract the best candidates;
- Improve teaching and training conditions for residents;
- Create and maintain an endowment fund to ensure the longevity of the Foundation and its mission.
It should be noted that over the past 43 years, the Foundation has raised greater sums than the amounts it has turned over to Montreal Sacré-Cœur Hospital. Some of the money is kept in the Foundation’s coffers until such time as the projects require the funds. The major transformation began with the construction above the emergency department of the new Integrated Trauma Centre, which will also host the Mother-Child Unit and the Endoscopy Service. The Foundation will contribute $14,568,511 to these projects that will benefit patients. By 2020, the Foundation will have raised an impressive $91,951,170.
