CISSS de la Montérégie-Centre

What CISSS de la Montérégie-Centre does

CISSS de la Montérégie-Centre is a public health and social services institution in Quebec, Canada, headquartered in Greenfield Park. Created in 2015 as part of Quebec's integrated health-system reform and now operating under the Santé Québec umbrella since 2024, it serves the population of the Montérégie-Centre territory through 40+ installations. Its care network is anchored by two acute-care hospitals — Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne (14 operating rooms) and Hôpital du Haut-Richelieu — supplemented by 16 GMF family-medicine clinics, 9 CHSLDs (long-term care), 2 Maisons des aînés, and a range of CLSCs and allied facilities. The institution holds designated trauma-center and neurotrauma status for the Montérégie region and offers specialized services in neurosurgery, thoracic surgery, vascular surgery, and retinal surgery.

The institution operates with a workforce of 13,000+ employees and 800+ physicians, and holds the only FRQS (Fonds de recherche du Québec – Santé) research recognition in the Montérégie region. Its business model is a publicly funded single-payer model: revenue flows from the Quebec government through Santé Québec, and the institution is reimbursed for delivering in-territory hospital, ambulatory, long-term, mental-health, and community-based services. The 2024 launch of a Virtual Care Unit and a Short-Term Hospitalization Unit (UIB) extended its service portfolio into remote-care delivery and dedicated acute psychiatric capacity. University mission affiliations with Université de Sherbrooke and Université de Montréal support teaching, clinical training, and research output. The institution does not pursue commercial revenue or private capital; expansion occurs within the limits of its public mandate and statutory catchment area.
