Dear colleagues and friends of the RI-MUHC,

I can honestly say that we have a lot to be proud of, and it’s hard to imagine a better time to move forward with our priorities. We have a truly unique centre, one that visitors, donors and other researchers are quick to praise. It does not take much to imagine the possibilities in the near future, with our critical mass of scientists and clinician scientists in close proximity at the Glen and Montreal General Hospital of the MUHC (MGH-MUHC).

Enhancing health care across the lifespan is an important part of our mission at the RI-MUHC. As a pediatric researcher, I am excited and humbled to be in a position to help guide this tremendous team for a time. From my colleagues in newborn medicine to those working on healthcare advances for the elderly, we all have the same commitment to this mission. I hope we can continue to forge the links that make the RI-MUHC a unique leader of research in Canada.
