Fondation Hôpital Charles LeMoyne

About

Since 1964, the Charles-Le Moyne Hospital Foundation has mobilized the generosity of the community to accelerate the development of Charles-Le Moyne Hospital, enabling it to provide human, accessible, and innovative care—today and for generations to come. 

As the only university hospital in Montérégie and affiliated with the Université de Sherbrooke, the Hospital serves 1.5 million people—nearly 20% of Quebec’s population—and welcomes tens of thousands of patients each year. It stands out for its comprehensive range of specialized and highly specialized care, including oncology, thoracic surgery, mental health, pediatrics, dialysis, and orthopedics. It is recognized as a provincial referral center and as a hub for research and academic teaching. 

Among the achievements made possible by donors are the creation of a research chair in oncological care—a major academic initiative that advances knowledge and clinical practices in a rapidly evolving field. Another milestone is the acquisition of a state-of-the-art orthopedic surgical robot—the first of its kind in a francophone public hospital in Quebec—which is transforming knee surgeries by offering greater speed, precision, and minimally invasive procedures. At the same time, the EZResus app, developed at the Hospital to ensure the safe administration of medications in critical situations, is now used in 29 countries, including in Northern Quebec. The innovation won the Canadian Space Agency’s Deep Space Healthcare Challenge and will be tested in 2025 on the International Space Station. 

Guided by the values of excellence, innovation, and accessibility, the Foundation complements public funding by addressing the Hospital’s priority needs and sustaining its leadership role. Thanks to the commitment of donors and strong partnerships, it is building a lasting legacy of healthcare excellence in Montérégie, for the benefit of both current and future generations.
