Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre is a Canadian hospital in Moncton, New Brunswick.
Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre operates as a tertiary care referral hospital and specializes in oncology and trauma care services.
Operated by Vitalité Health Network, formerly by Beauséjour Regional Health Authority, Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre traces its history to 1922 with the establishment of predecessor institution Hôtel-Dieu de l’Assomption by the Sisters of Providence. The hospital was purchased by the Government of New Brunswick in 1967 and renamed Dr. Georges-L. Dumont Regional Hospital in honour of Acadian doctor and late Minister of Health Georges Dumont. The facility was also designated the primary Francophone hospital in the province. In 1975 the present facility at 330 University Avenue was opened with a capacity at that time of 273 beds; subsequent expansions have resulted in the present capacity of over 400 beds[1]
In 1992 Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre became a teaching hospital for the Faculté de médecine at Université de Sherbrooke in Sherbrooke, Quebec.
