Brian and Mila Mulroney are pleased to announce their personal gift of $1.5 million to the foundations of the Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM), the Montreal Heart Institute (MHI) and the Montreal Clinical Research Institute (IRCM), each of which will be receiving $500,000.
Committed to Quebec institutions
With a law degree from Université Laval, Mr. Mulroney, a great philanthropist has demonstrated in recent years his dedication to Quebec institutions that have an impact on society. Having focused on education, Mr. and Mrs. Mulroney now want to contribute to health care.
In recent years, former Prime Minister Mulroney has received oncology treatment at the CHUM from Drs. Paul Perrotte and Cynthia Ménard, at the Montreal Heart Institute from Drs. Jean-Lucien Rouleau, Shaun Selcer and Philippe Lavoie-L’Allier, and at the Montreal Clinical Research Institute (IRCM) from Dr. Rémi Rabasa-Lhoret.
"Like many others, I have been affected by disease. I want to reiterate how grateful I am to have been cared for by the competent and talented teams at these two hospitals and this research institute. With this donation, I would like to express my gratitude for their exemplary professionalism and exceptional contribution to our healthcare system"
$500,000 to oncology research and care
This philanthropic gesture of great generosity testifies to Mr. and Mrs. Mulroney’s sincere commitment to the health of their community. These funds will enable the CHUM to push the boundaries of medicine even further, to develop tomorrow’s care today.
“We are very touched that Mr. Brian Mulroney and Mrs. Mila Mulroney show their appreciation of the care provided by the CHUM. This major donation will be dedicated to one of the Foundation’s five priority areas of development, cancer. We will thus be able to continue to provide the means to CHUM teams to pursue their projects in research, advanced care and teaching.”
