The network has one Board of Directors and was formed from the legal merger of the following Montreal hospitals: *[[Montreal General Hospital]] (MGH) *[[Royal Victoria Hospital (Montreal)|Royal Victoria Hospital]] (RVH) *[[Montreal Children's Hospital]] (MCH) *[[Montreal Neurological Hospital]] (MNH) *[[Montreal Chest Institute]] (MCI) The MUHC is officially a bilingual institution, providing services in both [[French language|French]] and [[English language|English]], as well as a number of other languages, as necessary. The MUHC is planning on closing several of its current hospital facilities and replacing them with a new state-of-the-art campus at the former Glen Railyards, near the [[Vendôme (Montreal Metro)|Vendôme]] metro station, and the Mountain Campus, currently the site of the Montreal General Hospital, which is to remain open as a downtown general hospital with an Emergency Department. This plan received the green light from the Quebec government in June 2007 to proceed as a [[public private partnership]] (PPP). The Montreal Neurological Hospital (MNH), will move to the new Mountain campus &mdash; the Montreal Neurological Institute(MNI), which is legally part of the [[Royal Institution for the Advancement of Learning]] (McGill University) will remain adjacent to the McGill University downtown campus. The [[Jewish General Hospital (Montreal)|Jewish General Hospital]] (JGH), the [[Douglas Hospital]] (specialized in psychiatry) and [[St. Mary's Hospital]], which are also McGill University teaching hospitals, are not part of the MUHC. There was a chance that the "private", but McGill-affiliated, Shriners' Hospital for Crippled Children would move from Montreal. The [[Shriners Hospital-Canada]] in Montreal was threatened with closure after a Shriner's committee recommended that the institution be moved to [[London, Ontario]], instead of rebuilding in Montreal. Their current site adjacent to the Montreal General Hospital is too small. This move was opposed by the Shriners of [[New England]], and of [[Ottawa]], as well as the government and people of [[Quebec]] and [[McGill University]], because it would have made patient access from New England and Eastern Canada more difficult and would have removed a major teaching and research resource from Montreal. In July 2005 the Shriners agreed to keep the hospital in Montreal and planning continues to move it to a separate building on the MUHC Glen Campus, which will also be the future home of the Montreal Children's Hospital. ===See also=== * [[Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal]] ===External links=== *[http://www.muhc.ca/ Official website of the MUHC] *[http://www.muhcfoundation.com/muhc/general.html Montreal General Hospital] *[http://www.thechildren.com/ Montreal Children's Hospital] *[http://mni.mcgill.ca/ Montreal Neurological Hospital] {{McGill}} [[Category:Hospitals in Montreal]] [[Category:McGill University]] [[fr:Centre universitaire de santé McGill]]
