The McGill University Health Centre (MUHC, French: Centre universitaire de santé McGill) is one of two major healthcare networks in the city of Montreal, Quebec, and it is the only bilingual teaching hospital in the province. It is affiliated with McGill University and is one of the largest medical institutions in Canada. Most of its funding comes from Quebec taxpayers through the Ministry of Health and Social Services as mandated by the Canada Health Act. The hospital's primary mission is to provide inpatient and ambulatory care to its downtown and West Island clientele, as well as specialized and ultraspecialized services to the broader metropolitan and provincial population.
The MUHC was founded in 1997 through the merger of five hospitals: the Montreal General Hospital, the Royal Victoria Hospital, the Montreal Children's Hospital, the Montreal Neurological Institute, and the Montreal Chest Institute. In 2008, the Hôpital de Lachine joined the merged entity. All of these hospitals now form interdependent components of the MUHC network; together, they field 1,379 beds and employ 1,587 physicians, 2,715 researchers and educators, and over 14,000 nurses, technicians and support staff. Every year, more than 700,000 patients are admitted for care at the MUHC.
