The Montreal Chest Institute opened its doors officially on October 21, 1909 as a dispensary for treatment of tuberculosis with emphasis on early detection, home care and education. The MCI quickly became known as one of Canada’s leading hospitals for research and treatment of respiratory diseases.
The MCI is affiliated with the McGill University and is part of the McGill University Health Center (MUHC).
