Welcome to the Montreal Children's Hospital

Beginning Monday, July 29, 2024, and until October 1, 2024, MUHC patients who require screening for pertussis (whooping cough) will be able to get tested at the COVID-19 Testing Clinic located at the Glen site in Level 1 of the parking lot, DS1-0052, near the entrance to the Adult Emergency Department (1001 Decarie Blvd., Montréal QC H4A 3J1) Please note, we will not be accepting patients referred from outside the MUHC.
Patients needing a test must be given a prescription.
A prescription for pertussis clearly indicating the following will be required:
The prescription must be legible and contain required information; otherwise, the patient may be asked to return at a later.

Appointment times must be respected and patients must provide:
If a patient has trouble accessing or filling out the online form for the appointment, please call 514-934-1934 ext. 38610 for assistance.
Once at the clinic, patients must wash their hands at the entrance and wear a mask.
The test centre will proceed with a nasal-pharyngeal swab and complete a lab request for bordetella holmesii, or/and pertussis or/and parapertussis.
Physicians will have to consult the results in Oacis and are responsible for communicating these results to the patient.
