In 1989, he founded at Centre hospitalier Sainte Justine the fetal cardiology unit, which he is still the Director, specializing in fetal cardiology and professor at the University of Montreal for over 40 years.

In 2013, the Consulate General of Haiti had paid tribute to the Pediatrician hematologist, of Haitian origin, Dr. Yvette Bonny under the Label "A woman a work" for her exceptional career and to have succeeded in April 1980, the first bone marrow transplant in Quebec and Eastern Canada.

In 2012 it was a tribute to the famous writer Dany Laferrière, winner of the Prix Médicis for literature in 2009 and a member of the French Academy since December 2013.
