Hélène Rompré
Hélène Rompré has been volunteering at CHEO since 2018, contributing a whopping 207 hours in 2020-2021, a year where we spent a great deal of time with our programming on pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Incredible. Hélène Rompré is known around CHEO to be a friendly, smiling face, who you can hear a mile away due to her love of singing and laughter. We are lucky to have her.
Congratulations Hélène! |
