Our mission is to raise funds to have an impact on the well-being of the Des Collines community in partnership with the Outaouais Integrated Health and Social Services Center.
Through various fundraising campaigns and events, the Foundation mobilizes resources to address healthcare needs of our community. Working closely with the CSSSO (Centre de santé et de services sociaux de l’Outaouais), we assess requests for specialized equipment and services aimed at improving patient care.
Requests are thoroughly evaluated by our Board of Directors for approval, ensuring that funds are allocated effectively and responsibly.
We prioritize funding for two key areas:
- Supporting equipment and projects directly enhancing patient care and well-being, with a focus on making a tangible impact on healthcare outcomes in our region.
- Enhancing working conditions for healthcare staff or optimizing operational efficiency within the healthcare facilities we support.
❤️ Play with heart. Support local healthcare!
