Fondation Institut de gériatrie de Montréal

The Fondation Institut de Gériatrie de Montréal (FIGM) is a charitable foundation established in 1984 to support the Institut universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal (IUGM). The IUGM is a prominent institution in Quebec that specializes in geriatric care, research on aging, and the dissemination of knowledge for seniors' health. The foundation's mission is to foster a society that promotes quality care and research, enhancing the well-being of seniors.

FIGM operates through three main pillars: research, quality of care, and the diffusion of expertise. It funds the Centre de recherche de l’IUGM, which is the largest francophone center focused on aging and seniors' health. The foundation also supports the IUGM's facilities, including specialized clinics and resident amenities, and backs public education initiatives through the Centre AvantÂge, which offers training and workshops on aging. Through its partnerships and donations, FIGM plays a vital role in advancing geriatric care and supporting the health of seniors in the community.
