Our Board of Directors

They work relentlessly behind the scenes, driven by the noble cause that unites them: making a difference in the lives of the mothers and children of Sainte-Justine. Together, the members of our Board of Directors ensure that the CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation upholds and advances the mission that propels us forward.

We are extremely fortunate to have this incredible group of women and men in our corner—people who devote their time and energy to the Foundation, people inspired by the conviction that, for the love of mothers and children, anything is possible.

It is with profound gratitude that we acknowledge the colossal impact of their contributions since 2012 on the greatest achievement in the Foundation’s history: the Healing More Better campaign.
