Les Initiatives Papillon
Each year, the community of Estrie spreads its wings of generosity by organizing, in its own way, a multitude of initiatives for the benefit of the Fondation du CHUS.
As in the butterfly effect, each gesture, big or small, can trigger a chain of solidarity impulses that transform the lives of patients. These impulses, when they multiply, allow the Foundation to pursue its mission and to give more to the Fleurimont Hospital, to the Hôtel-Dieu de Sherbrooke and to the CHUS Research Center.
Ongoing initiatives
