10 March 2021

The Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont (HMR) Foundation can count on the support of 10 young professionals, who together form the Next Generation Committee. Discover them.

Thanks to their varied background and experiences, Committee members promote the mission of the HMR Foundation across generations. They all share an attachment to the Hôpital as well as a keen interest in the medical advances that are made by its researchers.

Discover Gabriel, Marc-André, Stéphanie, Jade and Evelyne.

Gabriel Bellomo

In 2018, Gabriel was treated with chemotherapy. It was the HMR’s teams, which he describes as human and caring that treated him. Today, with his health stable, he’s Art Director for Studio 712. Together with his brother and sister-in-law, he created a clothing line, Casual Heroes, whose proceeds go in part to the Foundation.

The HMR saved my life, now it’s my turn to take care of the HMR.

Marc-André Dubois

For 25 years now, Marc-André and his family have been involved with the HMR Foundation through Les Amis de Jean-François third-party event. So, it was only natural for him to join the Next Generation Committee. Pediatrics is his passion and he hopes to help improve outcomes for the smallest of HMR’s patients.

I like it when things move quickly. I’m the kind of person who feels it’s important to be bold and look ahead, while maintaining a rational view of reality.

Stéphanie Gendron

Supportive of the Foundation and its mission for many years, Stéphanie is a passionate person and a go-getter. Vice President of Operations at M&H, she is following in the footsteps of her father—who served a long time on the organizing committee of the Montréal Passion Vin benefit event—by getting involved in her turn.

It was only natural for me to take part in a project seeking to increase the involvement of millennials in a specific cause. We don’t engage enough young people who, I believe, often seek to be associated with something that is close to their hearts.

Jade Lavallée-Labossière

Account Director at Hill +Knowlton Stratégies, Jade first engaged with the HMR Foundation within the framework of the Reprogram History campaign. A lover of small and large projects, she was keen on increasing her level of involvement by joining the Next Generation Committee.

Thanks to revolutionary cell therapy treatments, spectacular advances are taking place! Stem cell treatments can really change lives.

Evelyne Morin-Uhl

Researcher for television and radio, Evelyne is curious, rigorous, creative, and loves to communicate! In addition to giving back to the establishment that has supported her for so many years, she hopes, through her commitment, to raise awareness about the hospital’s needs among young adults.

It was at the HMR that I heard my son’s heartbeat for the first time. Five years later, life sent me back to the same hospital, for less rejoicing reasons. The Hospital and its teams are helping and supporting me to this day, so I want to give back.
