The Foundation is committed to the health and well-being of its members. To help you get information quickly, we have put together these frequently asked questions. If you have a question which is not listed below, please do not hesitate to contact us at encoeur@en-coeur.org and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Following the Government’s announcement concerning the series of measures put in place to slow the spread of the coronavirus, the general management of the Foundation has asked all its employees to telework as of Monday, March 16.
We continue our work and remain available at all times, whether by telephone message or email at encoeur@en-coeur.org.
It should be noted that support for families is in no way affected by this decision and that all precautions are put in place. We remain in contact with pediatric hospitals for any request. The Foundation continues to support families.
Thank you for your understanding!
