Harne ssi ng talent at three exceptional sites

bordering notre-dame-de-Grâce, saint-Henri and westmount, the glen site is part of a dynamic neighbourhood that is experiencing a full revival. patients, visitors and staff can use public transit and major roads to access the site, whose location will be a boon to local businesses. by acquiring two stra-tegically located buildings on de Maisonneuve boulevard, the MUHC will further improve its urban integration into the neighbourhood and create a Health Quarter for the community. the Glen is also the preferred site for the Montreal neurological institute and hospital and all partners are currently working on the requirements for this scenario.

in the downtown core, the Montreal general hospital will maintain its trauma care program while enhancing all services through major upgrades.

the community-focused lachine hospital is being modernized in order to strengthen its three centres of excellence in ophthalmology, bariatric surgery and geriatrics.
