Creation of an
Audiology Fund In early December, Laval University’s Faculty of Medicine Foundation celebrated Lobe’s exceptional gift to its faculty. By being so actively involved, Lobe is enabling the creation of an audiology fund (the Fonds en audiologie), financially supporting not only teaching and training activities, but also cutting-edge research in hearing health. At a recognition ceremony held on December 9, in the Ferdinand-Vandry pavilion’s Jardin des décanats, faculty administrators paid tribute to the remarkable contribution of Francine Morrissette and Martin Cousineau, the President and CEO of Lobe. The ceremony, hosted by Geneviève Bhérer, Communications Advisor for the Faculty of Medicine, was attended by Francine Carmichael, spouse of the late Dr. Pierre Ferron, an ENT specialist and associate clinical professor in the Faculty of Medicine; Sophie D’Amours, Rector of Laval University; Julien Poitras, Dean of the Faculty of Medicine; Alain Gilbert, President and CEO of the Fondation Université Laval; and Marie-Josée Taillefer, ambassador for Lobe clinics and hearing health. A plaque commemorating the inspirational journey of Dr. Ferron, a pioneer in cochlear implants, was also unveiled.
