CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation

About

Community support has been key to Sainte-Justine’s growth and development for over 115 years. Sainte-Justine is Canada’s largest mother-and-child teaching hospital and one of the top pediatric centres in North America. Its model is the only one of its kind in the country, bringing researchers, physicians, educators and healthcare professionals together under one roof, along with the Marie Enfant Rehabilitation Centre, the only facility in Quebec dedicated exclusively to pediatric rehabilitation.

As a referral hospital, Sainte-Justine has a provincial mandate to provide specialized care to children and mothers-to-be from across Quebec. Sainte-Justine is where many young patients draw their first breath, fight for their survival or get started on a path to a healthier future.

For more than 35 years, CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation donors have been empowering the professionals at Sainte-Justine to innovate and excel. By 2028, as part of the Grow Beyond campaign, the Foundation aims to raise $500 million to fundamentally transform the life of every child by seizing current and future scientific opportunities.

The CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation is accredited under the Imagine Canada Standards program, a distinction awarded to charitable organizations that are recognized for their best practices, good governance and the transparency of their activities.

Our Impact

When a child is admitted to Sainte-Justine, a full array of complementary resources springs to action, supported in large part by your generosity. It is this generosity that allows us to keep our promise to provide all our young patients with access to leading-edge expertise and the very best care, no matter what.

Attending to the needs of children, from conception through to adulthood, is the best investment we can make as a society, as we strive to build healthier communities and a brighter future. Your donations bring hope by ensuring the professionals at Sainte-Justine stay at the forefront of healthcare technology, continue to break new ground, and constantly advance research in every field of pediatric medicine.

When you support Sainte-Justine, you are empowering our multidisciplinary teams to work together and do everything they can for the next generation. You are reaching out to families across Quebec and showing them you care. You are helping us grow beyond our wildest dreams to make a real and lasting difference in countless lives.

How your gift will be used

Your planned gift to the CHU Sainte-Justine Foundation through your will or gift of life insurance is your pledge to a healthier future for children across Quebec. You also become a member of our Future Fund.

As a result, Sainte-Justine will be able to continue to transform care and research to benefit young patients. And our teams will be able to take swift and decisive action when and where it really matters.

“I’m the mother of two healthy sons who have never set foot in Sainte-Justine. Knowing how lucky I am that they are strong and capable of carving out their own path in life is what prompted me to pay it forward by making a bequest to the Foundation in my will. I decided, when the time comes, to let the Foundation direct my gift to the needs that are the most pressing. I want to do my part to help Sainte-Justine make the most of future opportunities in pediatric medicine, so they can keep looking for answers, even when the solutions are hard to find.”
