About The Canadian Medical Foundation

The Canadian Medical Foundation was established in 1987 to help Canadian physicians realize their philanthropic goals as well as create healthier communities.

Today, CMF is an independent entity dedicated to encouraging volunteerism and promoting philanthropy among health professionals.
