The entire team at the Fondation Santé Côte-de-Gaspé is pleased to announce a grant of $1,000 to finance "Dehors ensemble" project. This project was initiated by two young professionals, each with a background of personal experience in breast cancer.

Together, they decided to meet a need to develop services for the Gaspé and Magdalen Islands population with breast cancer. The project consists of setting up a winter therapeutic expedition with the positive repercussions of increasing confidence and self-esteem in the participants, building links with other people living a similar reality by promoting networking and breaking isolation, etc.

The Fondation Santé Côte-de-Gaspé sincerely believes that this project will offer a better quality of life to the participants, so the Board of Directors decided to support it since it perfectly meets one of the objectives of its mission.
