Dr. Gagnon, manager extraordinaire of Hôpital Vétérinaire de l’Ile Perrot, made the decision to move our location to a brand new 7200 square foot building in order to offer the best possible service to our growing clientele. Dr. Gagnon’s vision, experience and desire to offer his clients veterinary services in a modern, pleasant, welcoming place, led to the acquisition of the building at 400 Grand Boulevard in Ile Perrot in May 2019 and the subsequent transformation of the location into a state-of-the art full-service veterinary hospital. A page is turned in the history of Hôpital Veterinaire de l’Ile Perrot as we embark on a new adventure in our cutting-edge location. A breath of fresh air for this local business that has the wind in its sails!

Son poste de gestionnaire au sein de L’Hôpital Vétérinaire de L’Île-Perrot a connu son plus grand défi en 2019-2020 avec la préparation du colossal projet de construction d’un nouvel édifice pour déménager l’Hôpital au 400 Grand-Boulevard à L’Île-Perrot selon des exigences de qualité élevées fixées par les propriétaires , Dre Lebeau et Dr Gagnon. C’est avec une grande satisfaction que Dre Lebeau voit se dessiner le projet de ses rêves au printemps 2020. Des services vétérinaires multiples centralisés dans un espace design moderne, ergonomique, où le confort du patient et du client sont prioritaires mais aussi la fluidité d’espace de travail pour le personnel médical. De quoi ravir Dre Lebeau, perfectionniste, toujours pleine de projets et débordante d’énergie!

After 21 years in the United States, she is happy to have returned to Quebec. It is with great pleasure that she joins Dr. Gagnon, her former classmate, as part of the team at L’Hôpital Vétérinaire de L’Île-Perrot, in February 2017.
Over the last three years, Dr. Foisy has joined several organizations to offer her services as a volunteer veterinarian.
She has participated in spay and neuter campaigns to help fight the enormous overpopulation problem and improve the well-being of hundreds of cats and dogs.
She contributed to the evaluation and preventive treatments for a large exotic animal collection at a wildlife sanctuary.
Her work at a non-for-profit clinic has enabled her to sharpen her knowledge of tropical diseases, which are emerging in Quebec, especially those carried by ticks.
She wishes to dedicate as much time as possible to these types projects that she values deeply.
