My story  

Best. Dad. Ever.

Mélanie Chagnon, mother

Every day, my colleagues and I benefit from your generosity. Your donations give us access to the latest medical advances, which are so essential in ensuring the best possible future for the babies we look after.

Laure-Hélène Bourgouin, donor and nurse in the birthing unit and the high-risk pregnancy clinic (GARE)

Every day, my dear moms, you remind me of the importance of science, research, clinical simulations and donations. Together, they make it possible for my colleagues and me to provide you and your babies with the best care imaginable.
