Currently, construction is underway to modernize and expand the Lachine Hospital, nearly doubling its size, under the project known as HOP Lachine. The 100-year-old hospital plays an important role in West Island healthcare. As Dr. Lucie Opatrny, President and Executive Director of the MUHC, stated,
“As a community hospital, Lachine Hospital is indispensable to patients in the West Island. The Lachine Hospital Foundation campaign will ensure more patients continue to receive high-quality care and even better access with its expansion.”
The project involves the construction of a new 18 727-square-meter building, and a 2 673-square-meter remodel, primarily on the first and sixth floors of the existing building.
The revitalized hospital will include a new emergency room, surgical suites, a palliative care unit, and 60 individual patient rooms. After the move to the new building, upgrades will be made to the historic building, including:
• Outpatient clinics
• The endoscopy suite
• The specimen collection center
RENDERINGS: MUHC
The MUHC Foundation and the Lachine Hospital Foundation are raising $5 million to complement the $220 million modernization and expansion. The entire project is set to wrap up by 2027.
