History

edit

Established in 1913 as the Hôpital St-Joseph, it was administered by the Sisters of Providence.[2] In 1973, its name was changed to Centre hospitalier de Lachine and its management was transferred to the Government of Quebec.

The Lachine Hospital and its long-term nursing home (Camille-Lefebvre Pavillon) were integrated into the McGill University Health Centre in 2008.
