History

The Foundation was founded in 1979 by doctors Michel Gélinas, Pierre Audet-Lapointe, Yvan Méthot, Maurice Falardeau and Pierre Band. The co-founders aimed to reduce the gap between the care provided to cancer patients in Quebec and that offered elsewhere in Canada and abroad, while cancer was not yet recognized as a priority by the medical profession, specifically in Quebec. Marco Décelles is serving as the head of the organization as of 2021.[14] Musician Guylaine Tanguay is acting as the spokesperson of the organization.[15] In 2020, University Hospital of Quebec announced its collaboration with The Quebec Cancer Foundation to support people suffering from cancer.[16]
