From Montérégie and Outaouais to Eeyou Istchee and Nunavik, our students, trainees, clinicians and researchers are proud and privileged to partner with local communities to learn and teach, to care for Quebecers and to improve health outcomes for all. Discover their compelling stories.

Thanks to generous donations, Minnie’s Hope Social Pediatrics Centre moves into a new building and launches additional health and social programs for the children and teens in Whapmagoostui and Kuujjuaraapik.
