Jessica Pathy and Mark Pathy are giving $1 million to go beyond what’s possible
The CHUM Foundation is honoured to announce that Jessica Pathy and Mark Pathy have pledged $1 million to support their shared vision of helping Montréal’s major philanthropic institutions build a better life for the community.
Jessica Pathy and Mark Pathy’s generous contribution will be a driving force behind the innovative and transformative projects made possible by our major campaign, Act Faster Than Disease. Their gift will support CHUM specialists as they explore new care pathways that are more personalized and less invasive.
“We strongly believe that health is a fundamental pillar of any prosperous society. This gift is our way of contributing to our shared mission and vision: for each CHUM patient to receive cutting-edge care. By supporting the Foundation’s major campaign, we hope to encourage others to rally to the cause and join forces to make a lasting difference, and help the CHUM’s teams discover new treatment avenues.”
Mark Pathy is a passionate entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist. Alongside his role as CEO and Chairman of MAVRIK CORP., he is also known for his unique space expedition and contributions to a number of philanthropic organizations as a board member and generous donor.
Jessica Pathy, a chartered accountant, is an active philanthropic leader. She is the Chair of the Marie-Vincent Foundation, and plays key roles within WWF Canada, PLUS1 and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
Driving the bold ideas of the CHUM’s teams
Among the major campaign’s signature projects, one of the most promising is the integration of the MRI-Linac, an ultra-high-accuracy imaging tool that harnesses artificial intelligence to deliver more precise, more effective and less harmful radiation therapy for patients with treatment-resistant cancers. Research is being led by the radio-oncology centre to integrate this high-tech device into the care process.
The CHUM is just the second Quebec hospital to get an MRI-Linac, which will be used to treat a patient for the first time on May 25, 2025.
