Our major campaign: Act faster than disease
Our major campaign has a clear ambition: to gather the necessary resources to advance medicine faster than disease. The goal is to raise $200 million by 2028 in order to have a transformative impact on the medicine of tomorrow. These funds will enable CHUM teams to beat disease and propel innovation, research, teaching, and care to a higher level for the well-being of all Quebecers.
Campaign spokespersons
“It’s so exciting to see how medicine is able to shift toward something that’s more precise and patient tailored. It fills us with so much hope. It’s advances like these that make all the difference for us and our loved ones. By supporting the CHUM, you’re also supporting everyone in Quebec who needs specialized care.”
Virginie Coossa and Claude Meunier
With your support—and on behalf of everyone battling disease—business community leaders are coming together to shape the future of healthcare.
Priority projects
When traditional medicine hits its limits, we find new ways to move forward. Your donations empower the CHUM’s teams to tackle head-on some of the century’s biggest health care challenges in five priority areas. The goal is to prevent disease, better predict how it will evolve and personalize treatment—all while working in partnership with patients.
Cancer
Nearly half of Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. One in four will die from it.
Immunopathology
Every day in Canada, six people are infected with HIV, and there is currently no effective vaccine against HIV.
Cardiometabolic Diseases
Cardiovascular disease is the second leading cause of death in the country. In Canada, one in three people are affected, while 3.4 million live with type 2 diabetes.
Neurosciences
Neurological diseases remain enigmatic and take many forms, including epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease, among others.
Mental Health
In Canada, approximately 4,000 suicides are recorded each year. There is an urgent need to develop new solutions and make them accessible throughout the healthcare system.
Other projects
In an ever-changing medical landscape, your support gives the CHUM the agility it needs to stay ahead of emerging challenges and respond where it matters most.
Thanks to you, anything is possible.
