Patient Care
Through his own battle with cancer, Mario Lemieux learned how fragile life can be. He also came to recognize the resources that patients and their families need to navigate a cancer journey and embraced the reality that we are More Courageous Together.
Through the Foundation, Mario has forged a life-long commitment to offering hope and support to cancer patients who need it most. Patient-care initiatives, including establishing the Lemieux Innovation and Research Fund at AHN, creating a home away from home for patients at the Children’s Home & Lemieux Family Center, and Make Room for Kids, which furnishes kids with cancer the technology and gaming devices to make hospital stays more comfortable, show that channeling adversity into philanthropy is a win-win. Since it’s founding, the Foundation has greatly expanded the scope of its patient care initiatives. Today, the Foundation is as committed as ever to ensuring that patients and their families never have to battle cancer alone.
