Fonds REGAIN Santé
The REGAIN Santé clinic (formerly known as the Physergo clinic) was a Verdun non-profit organization. Through its interdisciplinary team, the clinic offered services that enhanced the health and well-being of the area’s population for more than 30 years. It received numerous honours, for example the title of exceptional corporate citizen for its 25 years of involvement in Verdun and in southwest Montreal, as well as recognition from the Fondation du développement local de Verdun for its exceptional contribution to the community (1992 to 2006).
While it closed for good in December of 2020, the clinic nonetheless wanted to pursue its community mission by transforming itself into a philanthropic organization. By creating the Fonds REGAIN Santé at FGM, the fund’s constituents wanted to support projects carried out by organizations essentially located in the Verdun/Nun’s Island borough, and enable them to offer services to vulnerable groups, notably in the three areas the clinic specialized in: physical rehabilitation, recuperation during and after cancer, and developing a healthy lifestyle.
The Fonds REGAIN Santé has already been able to support community actors in its borough, by allocating nearly $41,000 to the Fondation Champlain et Manoir-de-Verdun for the renovation of a residential home dining room.
