On September 13, a delegation from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS) donned their hard hats and ventured to the site of the new Hôpital de Vaudreuil-Soulanges to check on its progress.
The future hospital will be a training site for McGill students and residents, providing a valuable new clinical site for our growing cohorts. Slated to open in late 2026, the community hospital will include 404 inpatient beds as well as a 41-stretcher emergency department and 11 operating rooms.
Hôpital de Vaudreuil-Soulanges will operate within the CISSS de la Montérégie-Ouest which is in turn part of territory covered by the Réseau Universitaire Intégré de Santé et Services Sociaux (RUISSS) McGill, which has as its mandate to facilitate specialized care, medical education and medical research on its territories throughout Quebec. McGill residents in family medicine (including those working at the McGill-affiliated University Family Medicine Group (GMF-U) Vaudreuil-Soulanges that opened in July 2024), surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry pediatrics, anesthesia and internal medicine will ultimately be working at the new hospital.
McGill has been a close partner in planning the future teaching hospital, which will fill a gap in healthcare provision in the growing city of Vaudreuil-Dorion, an off-island suburb situated 30km west of Montreal.
