On Monday, May 6, at the 2024 Mercuriades Award gala ceremony, presented by the FCCQ (Fédération des chambres de commerce du Québec), IRIS received the “Investissement Québec Productivity Enhancement” award. This recognition crowns IRIS’ ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence, notably in integrating EMR (electronic medical record) and AI (artificial intelligence) within its clinics.

Éric Babin, President of IRIS, expresses his gratitude to the dedicated teams, trusted partners and patients who have been essential pillars in our journey. IRIS also thanks New Look Vision Group for sharing their vision and submitting the application, thus contributing to this exceptional achievement.

This victory is the fruit of everyone’s hard work and unwavering commitment to the organization. IRIS is proud of this achievement, which exemplifies our ability to innovate and meet challenges with boldness and determination.

“This award is an additional source of motivation to push back the boundaries of innovation and offer the best possible care to our patients.”
