Montreal’s Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital Foundation launches record $150M fundraising campaign

The Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital Foundation (FHMR) has officially launched their most significant fundraising campaign in its history, setting a goal of $150 million by 2030.

This campaign, titled “Healing without harm, we dare to believe,” comes at a time after the hospital has recently drawn attention for its aging infrastructure.

While modernization work is to come, the Foundation’s initiative aims to set ambitious financial goals and concrete priorities to improve care, support research, and strengthen teams.

“Daring is part of who we are, and that’s why we’re launching the most ambitious campaign in our history,” said Julie Desharnais, President and CEO of the FHMR.

“At HMR, our teams care for patients with the conviction that no patient should be left without hope,” she added. “It’s through the mobilization of our entire community that we dare to believe in this goal.”

Serving more than a quarter of Montreal’s population, the hospital is recognized province-wide for its specialized expertise in ophthalmology, nephrology, immuno-oncology, and cell therapy.

The campaign focuses on two key pillars:

• Transforming the future of care: by investing in research, training, and cutting-edge technologies.
• Building healthy communities: by supporting accessible, humane, and personalized care.

“Until the expansion and modernization of Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont are complete, the demand for care won’t disappear; it will only continue to grow,” said Desharnais. “That’s why it’s so important to come together for the well-being of our community, to improve care, advance research, and support the continuous development of our teams.”

“To keep innovating and maintain excellence,” she added. “We must act now.”
