VISUAL IDENTITY
The visual identity of the Chair attempts to translate its mission, vision and objectives into an image. The heart, formed by the initials M and Y, recalling Marguerite d’Youville , embraces an outstretched hand representing the humanistic care provided by nurses to individuals, families and communities, which are symbolized by three brightly coloured spheres. This visual identity is accompanied by the slogan To Care with Humanism and Science, which summarizes the philosophy of the Chair.
