Sectors of excellence
A resource for specialized care
Over the years, Sacré-Cœur hospital has acquired a designation as a supra-regional, which makes it a major reference centre for specialized and ultra-specialized care and services. It serves the populations of western Quebec, more specifically, the regions of greater Montréal, Laval, the Laurentides, Lanaudière and Abitibi-Témiscamingue, that is to say, a population base of 1.8 million people. The care, teaching, and research continue to develop around four axes of excellence and two frontline sectors.
Axes of excellence
- Trauma – acute and critical care: emergency and intensive care
- Cardiovascular health: cardiology and heart surgery
- Respiratory health: hyperbaric medicine, oncologic pneumology, asthma, unique professional expertise in assisted ventilation
- Mental health: services for all ages, child and geriatric psychiatry
Frontline sectors
- Tertiary orthopaedics: trauma, spinal column, bone marrow, pelvis, upper and lower limbs
- Minimally intrusive bariatric surgery: vertical gastrectomy, gastric bypasses with Roux-en-Y and adjustable gastric band
