The Connexion Circle

"In 2018, a severe water-skiing accident changed my life. Stabilized at the MGH Trauma Unit, I received successful surgery and extensive rehabilitation from an incredible team. Today, I can enjoy life's pleasures again: teaching my son to ski, walking beaches with my wife, and water-skiing once more. To ensure this quality of care remains accessible to all in need, I joined the MGH Foundation's Connexion Circle."

"At 16, a serious car crash nearly claimed my life. Severe head trauma, hip and pelvis fractures, left-side paralysis, and a month-long coma followed. After multiple surgeries and countless therapy hours, I'm now in my third year of law at McGill. None of this would have been possible without the incredible MGH team. I'm proud to support the MGH Foundation, knowing it helps save lives like mine."

"The Montreal General Hospital Foundation to me is a beacon of hope in the most desolate times. I support the MGHF because they provided a sense of optimism and community when my family needed it most. When my grandfather was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, the MGHF became part of the family, so it was only fitting that I join the Connexion Circle."

"My grandparents on both sides have benefited from the medical services at the MGH from orthopedics to cardiology. I believe it’s very important that our generation supports this great hospital so that it’s there for us when we need it. Being part of the Connexion Circle will allow me to ensure that the legacy of the MGH continues."

"Coming from a family of athletes, we have had our fair share of injuries. Throughout the years, the doctors, nurses and staff at the Montreal General Hospital have been there to get us back on our feet and doing what we love as quickly as possible. As a member of the Connexion Circle, I hope to help the MGH continue to get its patients back on their feet with the level of care and dedication my family and I were so lucky to have received."

"I am honoured to be a part of the Montreal General Hospital Foundation, an organization that impacts so many Montrealers in a positive way. As a member of the Connexion Circle, I look forward to raising awareness of the hospital’s broad range of initiatives. I am especially excited to support the MGH’s Mental Health Mission, as I care a lot about destigmatizing mental illness and providing support to those in need."

"Having always received excellent service and care at the Montreal General Hospital, I have decided to get involved with the Connexion Circle project as part of the Montreal General Hospital Foundation. As a young professional, I feel that it is my duty to lend assistance to their mission of vital support for vital care in order to ensure that the MGH continues to provide top-quality access to essential health services and to continue pioneering research, training and technology."
