Message from the President, Dr. Simon Prévost

In fact, from the beginning, this project has been there to make a difference. Make a difference in support, in relief, in listening, in respect, in the dignity of people at the end of life and, also and above all, in being able to offer a high quality option when this is no longer possible at home.

From the beginning, we wanted to create a space of humanity, a meeting place where the end of life will be at the center of everyone’s concerns, for the patient as well as for their loved ones. A culture where the easing of suffering will be at the heart and core of everyone’s work.

From the beginning, we imagined this project as one that would bring our communities together.  A project with a human dimension, where solidarity, professionalism and respect for the values of each individual reign.

When I arrived from my Grande Traversée, which was our first fundraising activity, many people came to tell me that they believed in the project and shared with me their conviction that it was going to happen. I admit that I have always believed in the generosity and solidarity of Gaspesians. After the support received from thousands of people from here and elsewhere, I believe that together, we can make a difference. After all, this project is developed by and for our community.
