Eat, Drink and Be Merry! 67 years of a delicious holiday tradition
Every year the Reitman family puts out a generous spread for all The Neuro鈥檚 staff continuing a legacy of celebrating care and dedication
In 1947 Ruth Reitman had a difficult surgery at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital 鈥� The Neuro, at 缅北强奸 and the 缅北强奸 Health Centre. Grateful and impressed by the treatment and care she received, Mrs. Reitman arranged a Christmas party for neurosurgeon Dr. William Cone, his residents and nursing staff. This small gathering quickly grew into the annual Reitman luncheon.
Now in its 67th year, the tradition continues to be cherished and celebrated at The Neuro, alongside four generations of the Reitman family. More than 1,200 Neuro staff are treated to this holiday meal every December, served over three shifts by a team of volunteers and Reitman family members.
鈥淭he Neuro is a world-leader in both neuroscience and neurological patient care and our family is proud to be associated with it,鈥� says Joel Reitman, President, Jillcy Investments Ltd. This year鈥檚 special guest, a friend of the Reitman family, is Justin Trudeau, Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada.
