At Montfort, every donation—no matter the amount—has a direct and immediate impact on patient care.
The Impact of Your Generosity
Over the past year, your philanthropy has enabled us to provide the hospital with the necessary means to offer exemplary care, including:
Purchase of two garrots for the operating room
Thanks to a donation of $30,000 from Ms. Claude Chapdelaine, a long-time donor and friend of the Foundation, we purchased two garrots for the operating room. These devices are used to interrupt the circulation of blood in a limb during surgery or in case of hemorrhages, in order to ensure a safe procedure.
Surgi-lift slings for the operating room
Provides patients with a smooth transfer from the operating room to the recovery room.
Scholarships
Two $3,000 clinical excellence scholarships were awarded for Francophone nursing consolidation placements in the following disciplines: Maxime Boisvenu-Fortin – Emergency and Meaghan Brown – Family Birthing Center.
Equipment for non-invasive vascular screening of the lower limbs
White noise machine
Teaching video for pre-op hip and knee replacement patients
Blanket warmer
Halloween treats for the staff
iPads donation from the Brigil Family

Under the chairmanship of Mr. Yves Tremblay, the first meeting of the Campaign Cabinet took place on August 27, 2020.

Major gifts secured during the year included an exceptional gift of $1,000,000 from Mr. Yves Tremblay and Mrs. Sylvie Villeneuve who paved the way for the completion of the Aline-Chrétien Health Hub – Orléans.
