To regain their hearing, many patients are opting for a cochlear implant, performed by a surgical team that includes a JGH otolaryngologist.

In 2016, after years of planning and construction, Pavilion K became the new focal point of the JGH’s critical-care and surgical activities.

C4 (the Command Centre) was launched at the JGH in 2020 to generate real-time data about care throughout CIUSSS West-Central Montreal.

The hysteroscopy suite allows some women to bypass the operating room for diagnosis and to receive results more promptly.

When Pavilion K opened in 2016, it was an instant game-changer. Now, on its fifth anniversary, it has exceeded expectations, becoming the silent hero of the pandemic.

Within the first decade of its launch, the JGH was already providing patients with the most advanced treatment and the most up-to-date surgical techniques of that era.

Nervous about possible risks during overnight surgery? Don’t be. A study conducted at the JGH concluded that patients who undergo emergency surgery during overnight hours are at no greater risk of mortality than those who are operated upon during the day.

Patients who were surveyed about their care in the JGH’s Academic Cataract Centre have turned in glowing reviews of their experiences.

If a stripped-down term like “hybrid surgical suite” doesn’t quite convey the versatility or sophistication of the JGH’s newest operating room, just think of it as the Swiss army knife of surgical facilities.

Dr. Gaétan Barrette, Minister of Health and Social Services, has commended the JGH for its high level of performance and efficiency.
