History

It was to replace the Hôtel-Dieu Saint-Jacques, deemed too small and dilapidated, that the creation of a new suburban hospital was decided in 1905 and it was not until September 25, 1911, that the first stone was laid in the presence of John Cruppi.[2] Several pavilions were built, then requisitioned for the health service during the World War I.[3]
