It is with great enthusiasm that I accepted the role of Honorary Chairman for the 16th edition of the Jean-Talon Hospital Foundation Gala.

By supporting the Foundation, you are taking part in an inspiring journey focused on innovation, collaboration, and humanity.

OUR PROJECT
Support Innovation in Orthopedic Surgery
The acquisition of a surgical assistant robot represents a major advancement for our institution.
Thanks to its cutting-edge robotic guidance technology and personalized 3D imaging-based planning, this robot significantly enhances the precision of hip and knee replacement surgeries.
Its benefits are numerous:
​
-
Fewer surgical complications
-
Reduced post-operative pain
-
Shorter hospital stays
-
Better long-term recovery for patients
Without this equipment at Jean-Talon Hospital, the CIUSSS du Nord-de-l’Île-de-Montréal would miss a unique opportunity to position itself among the leading centers of excellence in robotic surgery and minimally invasive procedures.

An innovative, human-centered, and sustainable project, perfectly aligned with the values of solidarity, inclusion, and human dignity, values the Foundation is proud to uphold.
Remembering the 2023 edition
The 14th edition of the Annual Gala of the Jean-Talon Hospital Foundation raises $500,000

On this occasion, a tribute was paid to Mr. Savard in recognition of his brilliant hockey career, the 30 year anniversary of the Montreal Canadiens' last Stanley Cup victory under his direction, and his philanthropic involvement in various causes, including the HJT Foundation.
Thank you to all our partners and donors for teaming up with us.
​
The game is not over, let's continue to team up together!
