A record amount of $ 20,096 raised by “La Santé, Ça marche”

This service helps people with lung disease, diabetes or heart problems.

It is not without emotion that Maurice Lavoie, volunteer organizer of the event, revealed the amount, especially since it is a record. It was natural for him to help an organization that aims to develop health care in the region.

The waiting list for services from the Health Treaty Fund has been growing for two years. The funds raised will ensure better access to the service for beneficiaries, according to Marc Thivierge, program manager.

In their rehabilitation process, patients in the program can benefit from follow-up nursing care with a clinical nurse, kinesiologist, and nutritionist.

“La Santé, Ça marche” took place on 24 September and brought together almost 180 walkers.
