L’hôpital (La Maison) des Incurables opened in 1897 with the inauguration of a hospice for patients with serious, usually fatal, diseases such as tuberculosis and cancer. It was founded by two sisters (Mlles Généreux) in a small house on St-Hubert Street in downtown Montreal. After the Généreux sisters could no longer manage it, the management of the Hospital was taken charge of by the Sisters of the Providence. In 1902, it moved to the much larger Monastère des Soeurs du Précieux-Sang (capable of caring for 375 patients) on Decarie Boulevard in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce. After the Monastery was destroyed by fire in 1923, the hospital moved again in 1926 to a larger site on Gouin Boulevard in northeast Montreal, at which time it became the Sacré-Coeur Hospital.
