Plenary Presentation

The New McGill University Health Centre: From Vision to Reality
Arthur T. Porter
Director General and Chief Executive Officer
McGill University Health Center
Professor, McGill University

In 1997, five hospitals affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine of McGill University formed the McGill University Health Centre in what remains as Canada’s largest voluntary hospital merger. A major driving force behind the merger was the vision to create a favorable environment for pivotal infrastructure renewal: an imperative for the sustaining and enhancement of world-class academic medicine. In April 2010, construction began on the Glen Campus, a key component of the $2.25-billion MUHC Redevelopment Project and also the largest public-private partnership in Canada. While one of the world’s most significant healthcare infrastructure projects, the MUHC Redevelopment Project is also a catalyst for the complete redesign of our clinical, research and teaching practice. This talk will describe the genesis of the vision, the implementation process and implications for the future.
