From December 18 to 31, the Fondation Médicale des Laurentides et des Pays-d’en-Haut will conduct a major fundraising campaign through the media.

 “The holiday season is an ideal time for charitable donations,” explains the executive director of the Fondation Médicale, Daniel Desjardins. “A donation to the Fondation is a donation for the people of our area. Remember that 100% of the donations to the Fondation Médicale des Laurentides et des Pays-d’en-Haut go directly to healthcare.”

Enormous needs

“The 32 municipalities served by the Fondation have tremendous healthcare needs. To name only these few, think of the radiology service in Mont-Tremblant, the various services provided by the Laurentian Hospital in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, the Family Health Group in Saint-Sauveur and the social pediatrics project that will be launched in 2018 for the MRC des Laurentides region,” continues the executive director of the Fondation.

 After the Fondation dinner that was held in late October, in November the Fondation Médicale stimulated its donors with a media campaign. “We have had great results. Many donations have been received by the Fondation, and they are still coming in. Because of that, we are going to launch a media offensive for the holiday season,” confirmed Mr.  Desjardins.
