• The Research Institute of the MUHC (RI-MUHC | Research Institute of the MUHC | #rimuhc) being the #1 research centre in Québec with rapidly expanding access and volume in clinical trials
• Improving access to care, including the elimination of the pediatric surgical wait list at the Hôpital de Montréal pour enfants | Montreal Children's Hospital in 2025 and many initiatives underway to enhance patient flow
• Vision to encourage and promote innovation with, as examples, co-creation of several AI-driven initiatives with industry partners to improve workflow, patient safety or quality of care.
