The Montfort Foundation and Hôpital Montfort announce $500,000 donation from TD Bank Group

This donation supports integrated healthcare programs at the Health Hub in Orléans

Last Thursday, February 2, 2023, the Montfort Foundation and the Hôpital Montfort are proud to announce a $500,000 donation from TD Bank Group (TD) in support of the fundraising campaign for the construction of the Health Hub in Orléans (now called the Aline-Chrétien Health Hub Orléans). This important donation not only helps us achieve our fundraising campaign goal , but more importantly, it allows the residents of our community to have access to integrated healthcare programs, under one roof and close to home.

“When people feel confident about their health, they are more likely to feel confident about their future. That’s why we’re committed to helping create more equitable health outcomes through support of healthcare programs like the Aline-Chrétien Health Hub,” said Nathalie Weiner, District Vice President, TD. “We look forward to seeing the impact the Hub and its new model of care will have on the community of Ottawa.”

Through the TD Ready Commitment, the Bank’s corporate citizenship platform, TD is committed to increasing investment in research, technology and innovative solutions that are focused on helping to make equitable healthcare accessible for all. Since 1998, TD has invested more than $83.5 million in hospitals, health care programs and children’s adolescent health.

For Marc Villeneuve, CEO of the Montfort Foundation, “it is a privilege to count TD among our supporters. In order for a fundraising campaign such as this one to be successful, it is essential to have the support of our allies, like this exceptional contribution. TD has truly stepped up to the plate!”

The Aline-Chrétien Health Hub Orléans is a Montfort led partnership with Bruyère, Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa, Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, Eastern Ottawa Resource Centre, ParaMed, Ottawa Public Health, Geriatric Psychiatry Community Services of Ottawa and Home and Community Care Support Services Champlain.
