Lianne Kopel, MDCM, FRCPC, Pediatric Respirologist

Fun fact about me 

I enjoy dancing, and won the 2018 Just for Kids (JFK) Foundation Dancing with the Stars competition which raised funds for the Montreal Children’s Hospital. 

I love working with children and their families because 
children have the best qualities: they are fun, incredibly resilient, and innocent. It’s a pleasure to work with children and to help them and their parents.
