Message from the Director General
Welcome to La Maison Mathieu-Froment-Savoie (the Maison), which proudly bears the name of the young cellist who died of cancer in 1991 at the age of 13.
La Maison was created in January 1999, six years after healthcare professionals first conceived the idea, in order to better meet the needs of those at the end of life in the Outaouais region. This palliative care center was first established at 55 du Couvent Street, Gatineau (Aylmer sector), and had 6 beds.
In January 2009, la Maison moved into the former Saint-Benoît-Abbé church, located at 170 Sherbrooke Street, Gatineau (Hull sector), and increased its capacity by 5 beds. It celebrated its 20th anniversary in January 2019. Thanks to the Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux du Québec and the generosity of donors who contributed to the major fundraising campaign “With you till the end,” as of 2020, la Maison has 16 palliative care beds.
La Maison offers patients and their loved ones a unique environment of exceptional care, attentive listening and warm accompaniment, in a family setting and a compassionate atmosphere.
I would like to highlight the dedication and professionalism of the staff and volunteers who work at la Maison. They allow people from across the region to live their last moments surrounded by their loved ones, in dignity, love and serenity.
Let me introduce you, with sincere gratitude, to the people involved in the smooth running of the Maison.
