Daughters of Wisdom
Originally named Saint-Louis-Marie-de-Montfort, the hospital was founded in 1953. It was managed by the Daughters of Wisdom, a Catholic order, until 1969. At the time considered one of the most advanced hospitals in existence, it opened with emergency, surgical and radiology departments, a laboratory, 200 adult beds and 50 children's beds. Its humanist approach quickly cemented the hospital's important place in the community.
