Here’s why we’re all in on the JGH’s transformational change in healthcare:
REASON #1 OUR CONNECTION TO THE JGH
Why the Hospital means so much to us …
Harley was born at the JGH, and it’s been an important part of his life ever since. The Hospital has been there for his family, from providing exceptional care for his mother and sisters through their breast cancer journeys to supporting other family members with their healthcare needs. For both of us, the JGH is more than a hospital – it’s a trusted community resource.
REASON #2 THE JGH’S DIGITAL HEALTH INITIATIVES
The JGH is investing in cutting-edge Digital Health Initiatives that are transforming patient care in Quebec and beyond. The JGH is taking its day-to-day operations and patient care practices and making them even better – more effective, and more practical, leading to more impact. In the world of software, we call that reducing latency. In healthcare, it saves lives.
As entrepreneurs, we’re blown away by these innovations. Just a decade ago, the idea of hospital staff remotely monitoring patients in their homes would have seemed far-fetched. Today, the JGH’s Virtual Care Program has made it a reality, transforming how care is delivered beyond hospital walls. Meanwhile, the Connected Health Record is making healthcare more coordinated and efficient than ever before.
These examples just scratch the surface of what’s possible thanks to the JGH’s Digital Health Initiatives. Knowing that we can make the work of the amazing staff at the JGH more effective through technology is something we’re incredibly passionate about. We believe it’ll lead to real, lasting change in healthcare – and better care for patients.
REASON #3 SAVAGE GIVING : OUR BOLD APPROACH TO PHILANTHROPY
The word “savage” reflects our no-holds-barred approach to innovation. It stands as a testament to our dedication to challenging limiting beliefs and to helping support the extraordinary healthcare impacts that the JGH has always championed. Our goal is to have a real impact and create meaningful change – just like the JGH has always done and continues to do through the Digital Health Initiatives. Together, we want to help it go further.

“Every patient who walks into the JGH today benefits from those people who stepped up to support the Hospital. From joyful births to life-changing diagnoses, each moment of healing is made possible by the generosity of those who came before us. Now, it’s our turn to pay that forward.”
