The Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM), or Université de Montréal's Hospital Center, is one of the two major hospital networks in Montreal, the other being the McGill University Health Centre. The CHUM is associated with the Université de Montréal.
The component (teaching) hospitals of the network:
CHUM is currently developing plans for a superhospital that will replace the hospital network excepting one general hospital which would also remain open. Ste-Justine is not included in the merger, as that children's hospital is to remain, and no children's ward is provisioned in the new superhospital.
Initial plans were for St-Luc to remain open, while consolidation of the other hospitals would occur where there is currently a bus maintenance garage. However, the government has ruled that the site is too dangerous, owing to the train tracks next to the site which can have trains carrying dangerous chemicals. Current plans instead are for St-Luc to be expanded into a superhospital and either Notre-Dame or Hotel-Dieu remaining as the general hospital.
The Pavillon Mailloux, the former nurses' residence on CHUM's Notre-Dame campus, was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1997, as its construction in 1931 symbolized the growing professionalism of nursing in Quebec and Canada.[1]
The Université de Montréal also has a second university hospital center, the Centre hospitalier universitaire Sainte-Justine, which is independent from the CHUM (in contrast with the Montreal Children's Hospital, which is part of the McGill University Health Centre, Sainte-Justine is a CHU in itself).
