History

Construction of the Sanatorium Saint-Joseph (now pavillon Rosemont of the hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont) located on boulevard Rosemont in Montréal

Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont was founded in 1971 as a result of a merger of two previous hospitals: Hôpital Maisonneuve and Hôpital Saint-Joseph de Rosemont.^[1]

Hôpital Maisonneuve was founded by the Grey Nuns in 1954 and housed a nursing school and the Montreal Heart Institute. Hôpital Saint-Joseph de Rosemont was built in 1948 and was founded in 1950 by the Misericordia Sisters. It specialized in treating tuberculosis.
