MM. Louis Marie Gagnon, Roger Poirier, i.m.o., and Rourk E.C. Simon, wishing to counter the solitude, isolation and increasing poverty of people living with HIV-AIDS, founded Maison Plein Coeur in the Centre-Sud neighbourhood of Montreal, where Quebec’s population is the most affected by the difficulties resulting from HIV-AIDS.

The fundamental objectives of Maison Plein Cœur are to contribute to the prevention of the illness and to promote health in people living with HIV-AIDS, with the assistance of its partners from community health and public social services. Their contribution consists in renewing community services which aim to identity signs of vulnerability, to the comprehension of the origins of these disorders and to the identification of possible solutions that are adapted and accessible to the community.

In order to achieve these objectives, Maison Plein Coeur continually builds community services in order to stabilize the situation of people living with health problems and organizational disorders linked to HIV-AIDS. The organization also offers services for people living with HIV-AIDS who wish to undertake or pursue the return to an active social life.

Maison Plein Cœur offers these services without any discrimination based on gender, race, beliefs, sexual orientation or financial situation.
