JEWISH GENERAL HOSPITAL

HEALTHCARE

The healthcare services and technology sector has acquired added importance over the past two years, as global businesses and organizations have worked with exceptional intensity to weather the COVID-19 pandemic and improve the lives of the people in the communities they serve.

Based in Montreal, the Jewish General Hospital (JGH) is one such entity. With a proud history of helping those in need of medical attention, the JGH was one of the first of two adult hospital centers designated by the Government of Quebec to receive COVID-19 patients.

“The JGH, which opened its doors in 1934, was founded as a general hospital to welcome all patients, regardless of race, religion, language or ethnic background,” states Dr. Lawrence Rosenberg, President and CEO of the organization.

“The hospital was established in a less enlightened era, when Jewish doctors in Montreal could not find jobs due to prevailing prejudice. Similarly, Jewish patients could not be cared for in an environment that was sensitive to their unique cultural and religious needs.

“To emphasize the hospital’s opposition to discrimination of any type, it became the first healthcare institution in Quebec to officially designate itself as being ‘nonsectarian’ – that is, open to everyone (patients and employees alike), regardless of their background.”

JEWISH GENERAL HOSPITAL

The JGH is a tertiary-care academic medical center, one of McGill University’s flagship teaching hospitals. During its first 81 years, it functioned as an independent institution. However, in 2015, as a result of a reorganization of Quebec’s public healthcare system, the hospital became the hub of a newly constituted Integrated Health and Social Services University Network for West-Central Montreal, commonly known as CIUSSS West-Central Montreal. (“CIUSSS” is an abbreviation of the French term for the network.)

CIUSSS facilities are located on 34 different sites in an area covering about 21 square miles. In addition to the JGH, this network includes six long-term care facilities, five community clinic/services organizations, 25 group medical practices, two rehabilitation hospitals and three rehab centers.

“Officially, the CIUSSS is responsible for providing services to a population of 380,091, with growth of 9.1 percent anticipated by 2036,” Dr. Rosenberg informs us. “In reality, we already serve well over 750,000 people, half of whom come from outside our
