Inaugurated in 1984, the creation of this hospital is the work of the Father Armand Gagné, trinitaire, whereas he was missionary in Guatemala of 1975 to 1983. At the time of the departure of the Father Armand for another mission, his friends, parents and old parish of Quebec (Canada), which organized already various activities and liftings of funds to help the Father Armand in the realization of his projects, decide to officialize their regrouping. Thus in March 86 was born it: “Fondation les Amis du Père Armand Gagné inc.” recorded as organization of charity. Today still, thanks to tens of voluntary, the Foundation supports all the projects initiated by the Father Armand in Guatemala. 100% of the gifts of the public are versed with our projects.

Few medical crises are more devastating or frightening than a child with a life-threatening disease or an unexpected injury or illness; and few situations place greater stress on parents and families. While tremendous advances have been made in treating seriously ill children, the families’ financial and emotional burdens remain. Ronald McDonald House® Atlantic Canada was created to help ease some of these burdens. Since May 1982, over 25,000 families have stayed with us when they had to travel to Halifax for medical treatment for their child. Families share in the cost of their stay by contributing a nominal fee of $11 per night for their entire family. However, their extensive medical expenses often preclude even this modest amount. We depend upon charitable donations and volunteer support from many individuals, corporations and foundations for our continued existence. On behalf of our families, we are deeply grateful for this support.
