Events
The evening of September 8th was hot, but also colorful for the CHUS Foundation... Indeed, two events took place in Magog, one gathering 176 women in black dresses at the Grand Cru boat; the other gathering some 150 men in white shirts on the shore, at the Club Hermitage.

This event is now a tradition! The 3rd edition of the Chemise blanche is targeting men to raise awareness of men's health and to raise funds for research, scientific innovation and improvement of care offered to them.
Men tend not to visit the doctor or to postpone it as much as possible, even though they have a shorter life expectancy than women. Thanks to research, it is possible to improve the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases that particularly affect men, including urology.
Again this year, for a second year, the event raised $200,000!
