“For the past 200 years, the Montreal General Hospital of the McGill University Health Centre has occupied a special place in service to the city, from its modest beginnings as a community-run shelter to its present status as a tertiary-quaternary care facility in a leading academic health centre. This exhibit tells the story of a hospital whose resilience is emblematic of the finest qualities we hope to see in our healthcare institutions. Today, as we experience a new historic crisis, this celebration of the Montreal General Hospital’s proud and distinguished heritage reminds us that we come out of periods of hardship with renewed strength and purpose, and with our fundamental values and principles intact.”
