Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Jewish Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation (JRH)

The Jewish Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation is the charitable arm of the Jewish Rehabilitation Hospital in Laval, Quebec. Hosted within the CISSS de Laval ecosystem, it mobilizes individual donors, corporate sponsors, Governors and Friends to provide ongoing philanthropic support to the hospital. The Foundation focuses its efforts on raising and channeling funds to strengthen rehabilitation medicine, patient services and the physical environment of the hospital.

Funds collected through annual campaigns, signature events and direct donations are invested in several key areas: acquisition of much-needed hospital and rehabilitation equipment, financial support for research activities, and expansion or improvement of hospital premises. By concentrating donations in these strategic priorities, the Foundation helps maintain and enhance the quality of care offered to patients undergoing rehabilitation.

The primary beneficiaries of the Foundation’s funding are the patients and clinical teams of the Jewish Rehabilitation Hospital. Investments in specialized equipment and infrastructure allow care teams to offer more advanced, safe and efficient rehabilitation services. Funding for research projects contributes to innovation in rehabilitation medicine and the development of new approaches that can later benefit a wider population.

Through events such as its annual golf tournament, including a silent auction and raffle, and the community run/walk known as the Rehabili-thon through the streets of Laval, the Foundation not only gathers financial resources but also increases public awareness of rehabilitation needs. The carefully managed use of contributions of all sizes reflects an emphasis on stewardship and on giving back to the community that has supported the hospital over the years.

While detailed program guidelines are not published on the presentation page, the Foundation communicates its mandate clearly: to support hospital priorities that directly improve patient care, research capacity and facilities. Its activities are integrated into the broader governance and reporting structures of the CISSS de Laval, which produces documentation to inform the public, community organizations and partners about its operations and results.
