His remarkable vision, unparalleled leadership and great strength of character have allowed the completion of numerous large-scale projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In 2004, Alfonso provided the spark that gave birth to our Foundation and we will be forever grateful. His wide network in the corporate world and in&nbsp;Montreal\u2019s&nbsp;Italian community helped the Foundation establish itself in the realm of philanthropy. His generosity and involvement led to the creation of the&nbsp;<em>Alfonso Minicozzi and Family Chair in Thoracic Surgery and Lung Transplantation&nbsp;<\/em>at the University of Montreal in 2008. This prestigious endowed chair provides essential resources for researchers in Thoracic Surgery and ensures the sustainability of the lung transplant program at the CHUM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">We sometimes cross paths with men like Alfonso who have a profound impact on our journey through life. Alfonso was not only a constant source of inspiration, but also a great friend and mentor. His kindness, his words of encouragement and his sound advice were always appreciated and guided us through many challenges. Through his good-heartedness and compassion, Alfonso changed the lives of many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Alfonso was a proud ambassador for our Foundation. His unwavering support, his great generosity, and his commitment will be forever etched in our minds. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">At the request of the family, your expressions of sympathy can be translated into donations for the Minicozzi Chair: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.montrealthoracique.ca\/en\/donations-options\/alfonso-minicozzi-family-chair-thoracic-surgery-lung-transplantation\/\"><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">https:\/\/www.montrealthoracique.ca\/en\/donations-options\/alfonso-minicozzi-family-chair-thoracic-surgery-lung-transplantation\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.montrealthoracique.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ae64ba43-d15c-4199-b81b-57454a96159c.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12458\" width=\"376\" height=\"83\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Montreal, January 26, 2021 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mr. Alfonso Minicozzi, founding member of the Thoracic Surgery Research&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":12519,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-12525","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"entry"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
