The Fondation M\u00e9dicale des Laurentides et des Pays-d\u2019en-Haut goes from success to success. \u201cThe year just ended mirrored 2016: another year of great accomplishments,\u201d Michel Rochon, the president of the Fondation says proudly. <\/p>\n
The results speak for themselves. A net sum of more than $700,000 was invested in the health of the residents of the 32 municipalities served by the Fondation M\u00e9dicale. <\/p>\n
In addition to having gotten impressive results in the past year, the Fondation worked towards implementing its very first strategic plan in its 28 years of existence. \u201cAll the members of the Board of Directors worked to establish this strategic plan that will allow our organization to surpass the results achieved up to this point in its history,\u201d adds Mr. Rochon. <\/p>\n
The mission\u2019s four points
\nThe Fondation reconfirmed its position as a genuine institution engaged in the health of the people in its territory. \u201cThe mission\u2019s preamble shows its ambitions for the coming years, that is, to contribute to improving access to nearby quality health care for residents and their families in the Laurentides and Pays-d\u2019en-Haut MRCs and in Saint-Donat,\u201d states the executive director of the Fondation M\u00e9dicale, Daniel Desjardins.<\/p>\n
The mission of the Fondation can be summed up in four points. First, proximity, that is, to contribute to the accessibility of nearby health care across the Fondation\u2019s territory. Quality is also at the centre of its concerns, with contributions to the improvement of the quality and efficiency of healthcare services through support of innovative programs, best practices, the purchase of equipment and the updating of facilities. <\/p>\n
Then comes the wellbeing of the population served by the healthcare network in the region. For the Fondation M\u00e9dical, being connected to the needs of the population is a priority. \u201cIt is important for us to identify innovative projects that can have a concrete impact while influencing the greater network that provides healthcare services,\u201d according to Mr. Desjardins.<\/p>\n
Projects for 2018
\nStrengthened by a strategic plan that supports the broad guidelines for the coming three years, the Fondation M\u00e9dicale plans to play its role as a leader in the health of the population. \u201cMany health-related funding requests come to us from the four corners of our region. Think about radiology in Mont-Tremblant, operating rooms at the Laurentian Hospital, the social pediatrics project, La Travers\u00e9e palliative care hospice in Mont-Tremblant, the equipment needs of the CLSCs and Family Medicine Groups. The Fondation wants to support all these projects to be able to achieve the strategic plan which is about providing the best nearby healthcare services to the 85,000 residents of its territory.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are currently working on implementing concrete actions to achieve our strategic plan. We know that the population is behind us, because it is their health and their wellbeing that we are talking about,\u201d concludes Mr. Desjardins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
