The urgent appeal of our CODE LiFE campagin was heard loud and clear, and our community rallied to advance the medicine of the future and cutting-edge research in Quebec. The impact of this campaign is being felt far beyond the walls of the Montreal General Hospital, as more than 40 front-line hospitals refer their patients there. From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank all the donors and partners, as well as the Campaign Cabinet and the Foundation’s outstanding team, for their incredible support.
