Notre Dame Hospital
Date: Unknown
Notre Dame Hospital, Sherbrooke St. East.
The Notre Dame Hospital was established by Laval University (Université Laval à Montréal) on Notre-Dame Street in old Montreal in 1880. It was the first secular Francophone hospital in North America. It moved to newly constructed buildings on Sherbrooke Street opposite Lafontaine Park in 1924. Additions to this site include the Pavilion Mailloux (for Elodie Mailloux, the founder of its nursing school in 1898), Pavilion Deschamps (for Julie Deschamps, Mother Superior of the Soeurs Grises, who helped establish the hospital in 1880) and Pavilion Lachapelle (for Emmanuelle Lachapelle, also instrumental in the Hospital’s development during its early years). In 1996, the Hospital merged with the Hotel-Dieu and St-Luc Hospital to form the Centre Hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal, currently located in downtown Montreal. The Sherbrooke Street site still has active clinics in a number of medical and surgical specialties.
