Description
The Montreal General Hospital (MGH) (French: Hôpital Général de Montréal) is a hospital in Montreal, Canada, established on May 1, 1819; an early teaching hospital. It is located on Mount Royal, at the intersection of Pine Avenue and Côte-des-Neiges Road. It has six pavilions: A, B, C, D, E and Livingston (L); plus a research center in a separate building next to the L pavilion.
The MGH was built at the corner of Craig Street (today St. Antoine) and St. Lawrence Boulevard and only had 24 beds. Having outgrown this space, it moved to a new 72-bed building on Dorchester Boulevard at St. Dominique Street; today this facility is a long-term care center. In 1924, the hospital merged with the Western General Hospital (currently the D & E wings of the Montreal Children's Hospital) at the corner of Tupper Street and Atwater Avenue. It then moved for a final time to its current location in 1955.
The MGH is part of the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) network of teaching hospitals associated with McGill University and has been designated by the Quebec Government as one of two Level I trauma centers in Montreal, (the other being the Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur de Montréal).
The MGH has been affiliated with McGill since 1832 and was one of the very first teaching hospitals.
