Mr. Speaker, this year marks the 30th anniversary of the Fondation médicale des Laurentides et des Pays-d'en-Haut.

The foundation serves 32 municipalities along with several establishments and resources, and has invested more than $9.5 million in medical equipment and local health care services.

An organization is only as successful as the people behind it. I want to acknowledge the commitment of the founders and the past and current presidents: Christian Gélinas, François Bertrand, Louis Tourangeau, Marc Desforges, Raymond Douillard, Pierre Forget, Marie-Pier Fournier, Peter Hamé, Lise Hétu, Laurent Tremblay, Lise Forget-Therrien, the late Marc Desjardins, Michel Frenette, Justin Racette, Nancy Wilson and Michel Rochon.

I also want to acknowledge all those who, over the years, have helped create a big family of full-time employees and volunteers who are dedicated to the community.

We can be proud of these individuals, for they have taught us that, when it comes to taking care of your health, if you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.

Monsieur le Président, cette année marque le 30e anniversaire de la Fondation médicale des Laurentides et des Pays-d'en-Haut.

La fondation couvre 32 municipalités, sert plusieurs établissements et ressources et a investi plus de 9,5 millions de dollars dans des équipements médicaux et dans des services de santé de proximité.

Ce sont les gens qui font le succès d'un organisme. Je salue l'engagement des membres fondateurs ainsi que des présidents passés et actuel: Christian Gélinas, François Bertrand, Louis Tourangeau, Marc Desforges, Raymond Douillard, Pierre Forget, Marie-Pier Fournier, Peter Hamé, Lise Hétu, Laurent Tremblay, Lise Forget-Therrien, feu Marc Desjardins, Michel Frenette, Justin Racette, Nancy Wilson et Michel Rochon.

Je salue aussi toutes celles et ceux qui se sont investis au fil des ans dans la formation d'une grande famille d'employés permanents et de bénévoles dévoués à la communauté.

Ces gens nous rendent fiers parce qu'ils démontrent que, lorsque vient le temps de veiller à notre santé, seul, on va vite, mais ensemble, on va loin.
