Update on Bill 10
Bill 10, which was recently adopted by the provincial
government, completely restructures the Quebec health
care system. Besides abolishing the Agence de la santé et
Services sociaux, the bill reduces the number of medical
establishments from 182 to 33 Centres integrés de santé
et service sociaux (CISSS) or Centres integrés universitaires
de santé et service sociaux (CIUSSS) if affiliated with a
University. Jewish Eldercare Centre and Donald Berman
Maimonides falls into the group known as CIUSSS
Centre-Ouest de l’Ile (Centre-West), which include the
following: The Jewish General Hospital, Miriam Home
and Services, Mount Sinai, CSSS Cavendish, CSSS de la
Montagne and Constance-Lethbridge, MAB-Mackay.
Bill 10 does not affect our volunteers. We thank you for
filling the many staff requests for volunteers throughout
the season and we look forward to our continued
partnerships in the future.

A SHOUT-OUT
TO OUR WEEKEND VOLUNTEERS!
Though the office staff doesn’t work on the weekends,
DBM and JEC are busy 7 days a week. We may not get to
see and thank our weekend volunteers in person but we
are extremely grateful for their time, energy and devotion
to our residents.
Le projet de loi 10 ne touche pas nos bénévoles.
Nous vous remercions de répondre aux nombreuses
demandes du personnel qui ont besoin de vous durant
la saison, et nous espérons poursuivre notre partenariat
avec vous dans le futur.

I have recently begun volunteering with the Dining Assistance Program every Friday at
4:30PM. The nurses are great to work with and I feel very welcomed and appreciated.
I had a great experience with my resident who has a beautiful smile... We held hands
together during her meal making dinner more pleasant and I stayed for about a half an
hour before she was taken to her room. I also spent some time with another resident–we
shared some laughs, good conversation and big hugs before I left for the evening.
I look forward to next Friday! This experience is getting me ready for when I begin my
clinicals for school at PACC.

We want to hear all about the happy
events in our volunteers’ lives.
Thank you to the group of Secondary 4 girls from Yeshiva

Our Staff say thank you to our volunteers
Notre personnel dit merci à nos bénévoles
Mary Tragoulias is a true
treasure; her commitment
to the Bowling Program
and her compassion for
the residents is remarkable.
Residents on the 4th floor
look forward to her motivating words and enthusiasm
every week and the program would not have the
same success without her.
Catherine Drew, Therapeutic
Recreation at DBM
I value and respect Selma
Schneiderman’s commitment and devotion; she
gives on a weekly basis
during the 3rd floor Breakfast
Club. Her compassionate
contribution continues to
fuel my energy as a professional. The residents and I are
very grateful to have forged
this special partnership.
Thank you Selma!
Lucy Bridgeman, Therapeutic
Recreation at DBM
Having Gary Perlman and
Maryam Hosseini as volunteers make our workload
much lighter. I am thankful
because there’s no snowstorm or harsh weather can
keep them from coming
to help out. My hat’s off to
both of them and would like
to give my deepest gratitude to my volunteers.
Guillester Tabamo, Health
Information at DBM
you for volunteering your
time and for being a part of
our team!!
Nursing Department at DBM
Volunteers are the hands I
do not have to reach those
residents when three or four
call my name at once. They
wash the palettes and the
buckets and put wires on
the frames so that I can
help direct the residents
or hang art works on their
walls. They have helped
me with large intergenera-
Mina Frydenberg has been
volunteering in the nursing
department for the past 6
years. Her dedication, attention to detail and hard work
has made a tremendous
impact on our worklife and
to our residents. On behalf
of the Nursing department,
thank you so much for
your time! We so appreciate everything you do and
don’t know how we would
manage without you. Thank
tional community programs.
Volunteers bring their
minds, hearts and smiles.
They inspire me through
their generosity, presence,
skills, curiosity and enthusiasm. I have so many to
thank over the years I’d fill
pages with their names.
Sondra Goldman, Art
Therapist at DBM
The volunteers who bring
residents to daily and
Shabbat services are warm
and caring. Some of the
volunteers take a personal
interest in the residents,
know them by name, and
establish good relationships. The volunteers are a
pleasure to work with.
Rabbi Wolff, Chaplaincy at
DBM/JEC
Au nom de tous les

Maimonides, je tenais à vous

énergie pour nous épauler

Merci de nous consacrer
