The Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM) was created in 1996 further to the merger of its three founding hospitals: Hôtel-Dieu, Hôpital Notre-Dame and Hôpital Saint-Luc. Every year it receives over a million patients.

An international leader in personalized and predictive medicine, the CHUM is a benchmark in the areas of specialized and ultra specialized care, teaching, research, evaluation of health-care technologies and intervention methods, and in health promotion. The CHUM’s activities are based on a modern vision of university medicine, which makes patients the core focus of its concerns and which values innovation in professional practices and in technological and organizational matters.

The CHUM has been a full-fledged member of the International Union Against Cancer (UICC) since 1996.
