Montreal Children's Hospital Foundation

On April 2, the Montreal Children's Hospital community lost a cherished member who touched the hearts of many, Dr. Luong Tuyen Nguyen or "Lou", as his colleagues affectionately called him.

He was always considered the "workhorse" of the Children's Division of Pediatric Surgery, running one of the busiest practices and never saying no to what was asked of him. He had a permanent smile, an extraordinary sense of humor and an air of levity truly unique among surgeons. Nothing seemed to weigh on him.

Dr. Nguyen was a true mentor and exemplary educator. To honor his legacy, the Children's has been awarding an annual prize in Dr. Nguyen’s name to the surgical resident with the best performance on the pediatric surgery rotation. With your donations, we would like to endow this Luong T. Nguyen Award, and ensure that it will be given in perpetuity in honor of Dr. Nguyen. It will be a legacy worthy of his love for the Hospital to which he dedicated the best years of his life.

In memory of Dr. Luong Tuyen Nguyen
