CIUSSS du Nord de l'île de Montréal

What CIUSSS du Nord de l'île de Montréal does

Santé Québec Nord-de-l'Île-de-Montréal – Universitaire (formerly and still commonly referenced as CIUSSS du Nord de l'île de Montréal) is a publicly-funded integrated health and social services network serving approximately 440,000 residents of the northern part of Montreal island in Quebec, Canada. Established in 2015 under Quebec's Loi 10 healthcare reforms, the institution consolidates what were previously separate facilities into a single integrated delivery network comprising 33 installations: 5 hospitals (including the university-affiliated Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur-de-Montréal, a major tertiary trauma and spinal cord injury center, plus two community hospitals and two mental health hospitals), 10 CHSLDs providing roughly 2,000 long-term care beds, 6 CLSCs, 4 specialized outpatient clinics, 18 family medicine groups (including 2 GMF-U), birth centers, and dedicated youth outreach (Aire ouverte). The organization is staffed by approximately 13,000–14,000 employees and physicians, supports an active research program through formal affiliation with Université de Montréal (4 research axes, 800 researchers, 8,000 trainees), and maintains an annual operating and capital budget exceeding $1 billion CAD.

Revenue is derived from a single source — global operating and capital grants from the Quebec Ministry of Health (Santé Québec) — supplemented by regulated user fees (CHSLD accommodation, medical certificates, certain non-insured medications) and donations through affiliated foundations. Most clinical services are covered by the provincial health insurance plan (RAMQ) at no out-of-pocket cost to residents, so the institution does not operate a commercial sales motion; patient access flows through physician referrals, walk-in services, emergency departments, CLSC appointments, and self-service digital tools (télésanté, online booking). Service delivery has been undergoing digital and infrastructural modernization through the Dossier Santé Numérique (DSN) electronic health record rollout, a new nuclear medicine / PET scan department, and a new emergency department at Hôpital Fleury.

The institution rebranded in June 2026 as part of the Santé Québec network harmonization, aligning its public identity with the central provincial health authority. Strategic positioning rests on three reinforcing pillars: government-mandated territorial monopoly in northern Montreal, deep academic and clinical talent density through Université de Montréal affiliation, and an early-mover role as a flagship site for Quebec's provincial digital health record transformation.

Revenue model

1. Provincial Public Healthcare Funding: Primary revenue stream from the Quebec Ministry of Health (Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux) through global operating and capital budgets. The organization receives annual public funding to deliver integrated healthcare and social services. Additional revenues come from government-mandated user fees for certain services (e.g., specific accommodations, medical certificates, certain medications).
2. User Fees and Service Charges: Fees charged for specific services as permitted under Quebec healthcare regulations: accommodation fees in CHSLD, charges for medical certificates, billing for specific pharmacological products, and other regulated fees. These are minimal and regulated, not profit-generating.
3. Donations and Foundations: The organization operates charitable foundations (Fondations) that accept donations to support facility improvements, equipment purchases, and patient care programs.

• CIUSSS de la Mauricie-et-du-Centre-du-Québec: Regional CIUSSS serving the Mauricie and Centre-du-Québec regions under the same Quebec integrated health and social services structure.

• Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM): Quebec's largest university hospital center, affiliated with Université de Montréal.
