To make a donation during the Canada Post disruption
Due to the disruption of postal services, we would like to inform you that our annual solicitation by post is still affected and therefore the delivery of mail to our offices is not assured.
If you usually make a donation by check via post, we invite you to contact us to find out the status of the mail delivery situation. In the circumstances, we invite you to consider making a donation online on our website or by telephone (or in person at our offices) with the assistance of a member of our team.
2023-2024 Annual Report: the BMP Foundation invests close to $908,000
It is with great pride that the Brome-Missisquoi-Perkins Hospital Foundation is redistributing most of the donations raised through its fundraising activities in 2023 through various projects in our beautiful region. We are pleased to share with you our annual report tabled at our last Annual General Meeting, held on June 19. You will find the most recent annual report here: https://fondationbmp.ca/en/ratio-of-administrative-costs/.
Donors made a significant contribution to improving healthcare at the BMP Hospital by allowing us to make a total investment of over $614,000 in 2023. This sum went largely toward the purchase of 16 colonoscopes (outpatient clinics), totalling $285,866 to improve colorectal cancer detection. Other purchases were made thanks to the same investment: $160,747 for a Laser Thulium (urology interventions) and $3,871 in the MEDESYNC computer system (urology file management). Also noteworthy are equipment for CLSC consultations, a portable ultrasound machine and a syringe pump (automated drug administration).
Improvement projects and compassions realized
A generous contribution of over $43,000 invested in the Leisure Fund for the elderly enabled residents of CHSLDs in Cowansville, Bedford, and Sutton, as well as BMP Hospital living unit, to benefit from recreational activities such as zootherapy, music, Zumba and much more! An exceptional impact to counter isolation and loneliness.
New responsibilities for the BMP Foundation, a commitment from the heart!
In 2023, the BMP Foundation was honoured and privileged to join forces with two great friends of health in Brome-Missisquoi: the Boutique des Auxiliaires de l’Hôpital BMP and the Fondation du Centre d’accueil de Cowansville. Together, we hope to bring the Boutique and its activities into a modern era. Already, a computerized cash register has been installed and a new brand image has been created for the Boutique.

Volunteers and a team invested in our mission
These achievements are made possible exclusively through the contributions of our donors, sponsors and collaborators. We are also extremely grateful to our wonderful team of volunteers for their support and hard work throughout the year.
