2024年7月23日 - 10:33PM
A new $100,000 donation from Leviton Canada is supporting the Dream
Big: Lachine Hospital campaign, a collaboration between the MUHC
Foundation and the Lachine Hospital Foundation that is raising $5
million dollars to modernize Lachine Hospital. As a local business,
Leviton Canada’s gift will support the purchase of lifesaving
equipment that will bring excellence in health care to the West
Island.
“Being from the community, my family's ties to Lachine Hospital
are deeply personal. We have all been treated there over the years,
and the staff are so driven and motivated. Most recently, the care
my father received at Lachine Hospital before he passed was nothing
short of exceptional. This donation is not just a corporate
gesture, but a personal testament to the vital role this hospital
plays in the community.”
– Jason Prevost, COO of Leviton Canada
The mission of the Dream Big: Lachine Hospital campaign is to
raise funds for cutting-edge medical equipment not covered by
government budgets. The $5 million will complement the $210M
investment from the Quebec government. Lachine Hospital will close
to double in size with a new six-story building that will serve the
needs of the entire West Island.
“Leviton Canada’s generous donation drives us closer to our goal
and exemplifies the powerful effect of community solidarity. With
this support, we are set to revolutionize the care we provide,
ensuring top-tier medical services for our community that will
translate to more lives saved.”
— Hélène V. Gagnon, Co-Chair of the Dream Big: Lachine Hospital
campaign and Chief Sustainability Officer and Senior Vice
President, Stakeholder Engagement at CAE
The revitalized Lachine Hospital will include advanced surgical
suites, a comfortable palliative care unit, and individual patient
rooms that allow for privacy and rest. The emphasis is on patient
comfort and on bringing world-class health care to the West
Island.
“Leviton Canada’s contribution is a powerful boost to our Dream
Big: Lachine Hospital campaign. Thanks to their inspiring
leadership and generous contribution, the dedicated health care
workers at Lachine Hospital will now be able to provide an even
greater level of care and support—directly benefitting patients and
their families.”
—Marie-Hélène Laramée, President and CEO, MUHC Foundation
The Dream Big: Lachine Hospital campaign has now raised $4M of
its $5M goal. The hope is that more businesses and organizations in
Lachine and the West Island will come together to complete the
campaign, driving excellence in health care for the entire
area.
