Through the generous support of our donors, The Montreal General Hospital Foundation (MGHF) raises and manages funds dedicated to excellence in patient care, teaching and research at The Montreal General Hospital (MGH) as well as for the Redevelopment of the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC).
THE MONTREAL GENERAL HOSPITAL FOUNDATION AND YOU
The Montreal General Hospital is undergoing a transformation as an integral part of the Redevelopment of the MUHC. As we embark on this transformation of physical facilities, we need your help.
Through major construction and renovation, the MGH will be transformed over the next few years into a modern state-of-the-art facility, equipped to meet the demanding health care needs of the future.
This Redevelopment will enable The Montreal General Hospital to fulfill its critical mission
as a Level I Trauma Centre, including expanded Emergency and Intensive Care facilities.
The MGH will also be home to new:
- Cardiac Intensive Care Unit & Electrophysiology Laboratory;
- Mental Health Services, including new Psychiatric Care Units;
- Orthopaedics treatment facilities;
- Gastroenterology facilities including a new IBD Centre;
- Palliative Care centre.
During this transformation, the MGH continues its leadership in Cancer Care (breast, lung, prostate and colorectal cancer). The MGH/MUHC has the highest number of top- ranked specialized cancer teams in the province, according to a review by the Quebec Ministry of Health.
Integral to the Redevelopment is the conversion to single patient rooms throughout the Hospital, providing for individual patient care.
We must continue also to enhance our efforts to recruit and retain the best and brightest young doctors, nurses and researchers through the creation of Awards, Fellowships and Chairs.
