Saint Luc Hospital, 1058 St. Denis St., Montreal.
Saint-Luc Hospital was founded in 1908 by Dr. F.A. Fleury. The Hospital was located, at that time in one of the poorer areas of Montreal, in a private home on Saint Denis Street. Fleury’s mission was to accept for treatment any person requiring care, regardless of language, ethnicity, religion or ability to pay. Despite its name, it was the first secular Francophone hospital in Montreal. At first having only nine beds, the hospital grew to 89 by 1928 when a new hospital building was constructed (“le petit hôpital”). This enlarged with the additions of the Pavilion Roland-Buck (1943) and Édouard-Asselin (1959). In 1996, it merged with ôٱ-پ and Notre-Dame Hospital to form the Centre Hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM). In 2017 - 18, the Hospital was demolished (except for the Édouard-Asselin Pavilion) as part of the construction of the CHUM mega-hospital in downtown Montreal.
