Mr. Alain Lemaire
Cabinet Co-chairman

Cofounder and executive chairman of the Cascades board of directors

« Together, we have made this signature campaign a success. We have an obligation to our region and a desire to maintain quality care that is adapted to the needs of the population. The donations collected provide the opportunity to do more, for example, by acquiring high-tech equipment that would not otherwise be accessible. It is important to continue to invest in the cause of healthcare and to support the CHUS Foundation in its mission. »
