Where do your donations go

The radiology department at Jean-Talon Hospital has always been a pioneer in the early detection of breast cancer, drawing on its expertise in this type of examination and benefiting from diagnostic equipment such as mammography and high-resolution breast ultrasound. Since 1990, the department has enjoyed international influence for organizing conferences on breast imaging in Quebec.

This new biopsy device will replace the current device that is at the end of its life. It will also allow patients to benefit from the same type of medical equipment used in major university centers. With this device, patients will obtain a cancer diagnosis before the intervention, thus avoiding unnecessary surgeries. In addition, by establishing the cancer diagnosis in advance, surgery planning can be done accordingly.

In order to support the home care department of RLS La Petite-Patrie Villeray, the Foundation has acquired an oxygenation machine for the needs of certain patients.

This machine allows our customers to avoid certain hospital stays and to remain in the comfort of their home with visits from our health professionals.

To allow radiologists at Jean-Talon Hospital to perform operations with greater precision, the Foundation granted a $9,000 dedicated donation to the radiology department for the purchase of a localization “kit”. The hospital is now able to respond adequately to additional cases of patients with deep breast injuries.
Thanks to your donations, the Jean-Talon Hospital can better serve its community. Thank you from the heart!

It is with pride that the HJT Foundation presented a Bladderscan to the day surgery department at Jean-Talon Hospital.

The Foundation is contributing $120,000 to an orthopedic research project led by Mr. Mohamed Benderdour, full professor at the University of Montreal and Dr. Julio Fernandes, orthopedic surgeon at the CIUSSS du NIM and full professor at the University of Montreal.

The research project Oral genetic therapy of rheumatoid arthritis using new chitosan-DIPEA-siRNA-ssbb-oleic acid nanovectors was awarded the prize in the second call for projects in 2022 presented by Axelys with the support of the Minister of Economy, Innovation and Energy of Quebec.

This project will consist of several stages spread over a period of 3 years. In 2024, it will begin its third year.

Following an initiative by Dr. Lawrence Leroux of the Jean-Talon Hospital, the "KidsSave-Lives" program was offered to elementary schools in the Villeray and Petite-Patrie boroughs. This program consists of educating students about cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). A multidisciplinary team led by physicians from the Family Medicine Group (GMF) and the emergency medicine team at the Jean-Talon Hospital, composed of school nurses from the Youth and Specific Services team, work together to offer this program in schools in the boroughs. This initiative is very much appreciated by students and our school partners.

A QUEBEC FIRST AND IT'S HERE, AT THE JEAN-TALON HOSPITAL!

The ergonomic stretcher with adapted specifications was created so that the technologist can work in ergonomic positions, with a stretcher easily adaptable to the needs of the technologist or that of the user. This project was carried out by Luc Mainville, assistant chief in radiology at the Jean-Talon Hospital.

To know all the details, see the article published in the magazine EchoX .

Thanks to the support of its community, the Foundation financed the acquisition of three of these stretchers.

Thanks to the support of our donors, the Foundation has acquired eight Domus Auto mattresses for the palliative care department at Jean-Talon Hospital.

For specialized surgeries to be performed, the Jean-Talon Hospital Foundation recently granted more than $250,000 for the purchase of an operating table, a transfer mattress, an endoscopy cart, as well as accessories specially designed for this type of surgery. The Hospital thus became the second hospital center of our CIUSSS to be equipped with all the adequate equipment necessary for this type of intervention, which also allows the 4 specialized surgeons in our territory to improve their performance and reduce the time needed for surgery.
