About

Established in 1904, the Montreal Children’s Hospital (MCH) is Quebec’s oldest children’s hospital and the pediatric hospital of the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC). A tertiary and quaternary care teaching and research facility, treating newborns, children and adolescents up to age 18, it serves 63 per cent of the geographic population of Quebec.

With its pediatric care and research facilities adjacent to the adult facility on the Glen site, the MCH is in a unique position to offer services and research across the lifespan. The Centre for Innovative Medicine, the only clinical research centre in a hospital setting in North America, allows its researchers to conduct clinical trials on the Hospital site.

The MCH is a leader in providing a broad spectrum of highly specialized care to young patients and families from all across Quebec. The hospital is a provincially designated trauma centre and is recognized for its wealth of expertise in cardiology and cardiac surgery, emergency care, neurology and neurosurgery.

The MCH is the only pediatric facility serving McGill University’s Réseau universitaire intégré de Santé et Services sociaux (RUISSS-McGill).

Parents are our partners in care.
