Dear valued supporters,

While Le Phare faced many challenges and transformations this year, you were there, once again, to show your solidarity and generosity to the 257 families that are going through the unfathomable every day dealing with their child’s illness.

Thanks to you, our dedicated teams have been able to do everything in their power to care for these children and support their families, providing them with guidance and comfort. What is more is that your exceptional commitment has allowed us to lay the foundation for an organizational metamorphosis that will allow Le Phare to share its expertise in community-based Pediatric Palliative Care throughout Quebec.

This period of change has brought about other changes, notably with a new modern visual identity that reflects our organization, as we contribute to raising awareness about the cause and our mission with the general public.

Despite the pandemic and labour shortage, our establishment has welcomed new patients needing respite care or symptom management care. In collaboration with our hospital partners, Le Phare offers an alternative to families referred to the organization, by proposing a flexible environment centred around each child’s particular needs.

In recruiting two new pediatricians specialized in pediatric palliative care and participating in numerous conferences and training sessions, we have been able to expand our reach and our expertise.

As we launch our 2022-2025 strategic plan under the leadership of a new management team and a board of directors that is more engaged than ever, we are ready for what the future may hold. What we do know is that the future is bright for Le Phare, as we reach new horizons in community-based pediatric palliative care.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting us again this year and helping us light the way for hundreds of families.
