This unique event will be an opportunity to rally together around a project that holds great promise for the future of Quebec: plasma donation. We’ll have the chance to better understand the importance of this precious commodity, essential to the treatment of serious illnesses, through testimonials from key players at Héma- Québec and from recipients.
Since its creation in 1999, the Héma-Québec Foundation has played an essential role in supporting recipients and offering them a second chance. As we celebrate 25 years of generosity and solidarity, we’re proud to be able to count on a dedicated ambassador: Marie-Chantal Perron.
