We are pleased to announce that, as of September 11th, 2017, the Queen Elizabeth Health Complex (QEHC), which predominantly serves the Anglophone community in NDG, has been given the status of \u201csuper-clinic.\u201d (CBC News) \u201cEnsuring ready access to both medical and alternative health services, the QEHC is an attractive option to avoid the overcrowding, delays and other inconveniences so often experienced in hospitals and CLSCs.\u201d (QEHC)<\/p>\n

The QEHC has a long history of service to the community, since \u201c1894 when it used to be the Montreal Homeopathic Hospital,\u201d (QEHC) situated on McGill College Avenue. The hospital was later moved to Marlowe Avenue, its current NDG location, in 1927, when there was a demand for more beds and space. This hospital became renowned for their cutting edge medical practices and attentive staff, so much so that they were honored with the name of King George VI\u2019s wife, Queen Elizabeth. However, the hospital\u2019s very existence was put in jeopardy when there was a government directive, in 1995, to cut health care costs through the closure of \u201cMontreal-area acute-care hospitals.\u201d (QEHC) In the year after this directive, \u201cthe QEH Board of Directors, the QEH Foundation and other bodies and individuals in the community joined forces and decided to take matters into their own hands by forming the Centre-West Community Health Corporation (CWCHC).\u201d (QEHC) This new not-for-profit organization allowed for the continuation of acute care services in the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Queen Elizabeth Health Complex, under the management of the CWCHC, is therefore a reincarnation and a new legal form for a century-old community institution. Its mission is to provide efficient, readily accessible medical services, complementary and alternative therapy, as well as emotional and mental health services that will contribute to improving the health of our community in accordance with the policies and guidelines of the Government of Quebec.\u201d (QEHC)<\/p>\n

The QEHC offers services such as:
\n-A walk-in clinic, open 365 days a year
\n-A medical specialist clinic: cardiology, internal medicine, neurology, urology, otolaryngology, endocrinology, ophthalmology, and a special educational diabetes program.
\n-Imaging centre: radiology, ultrasound, digital mammography, bone density, and fluoroscopy services.
\n– The MUHC Department of Family Medicine.
\n– A dental clinic affiliated with the McGill University Faculty of Dentistry.
\n– Health services, such as chiropractic, nutrition, dietetics, physiotherapy, osteopathy, audiology and aesthetic medicine.
\n-Provides in-home nursing services.
\n-Mental health services.
\n-Complementary and alternative health care services: acupuncture, massotherapy, homeopathy, etc. (QEHC)<\/p>\n
