Our foundation

Sam Scalia and Diana Ferrara Scalia has generously donated $100 000 to the Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation for a new children's room at the new hospital that will open in 2015. The new, single room, will be spacious for the child and his family, even allowing a sleeping area for parents that want to visit and/or stay overnight with their sick child. In addition, the room will have a window and an ambient lighting system that provides a tranquil environment a better healing. The family may be hosted in privacy and cosiness. Nurses and doctors will have easy, direct access to diagnostic devices, allowing them to keep a close eye on the progress of their patients and to avoid transfers onto stretchers. The room will take the name of Sam & Diana Scalia.

Samcon has committed to donate to Marie-Clarac Hospital Foundation another $40 000 for events in addition to $32 000 per year for 5 years.
