Since 1934, the Jewish General Hospital has served patients from diverse religious, linguistic and cultural backgrounds in Montreal, throughout Quebec and beyond. As one of the province's largest acute-care hospitals, this 637-bed McGill University teaching hospital admits nearly 25,000 patients per year, while handling approximately 645,000 outpatient visits, 69,000 emergency visits and 4,400 births. The JGH is widely recognized for excellence in various specialties, including oncology at the Segal Cancer Centre, cardiology, neonatology, orthopedics, family medicine, aging and emergency medicine. As a result, the hospital has been designated by the government of Quebec as one of Montreal's five major service centres; a provincial centre for high-risk obstetrical and neonatal care; and a breast referral and investigation centre. Treatment is provided by approximately 695 affiliated doctors many of whom have teaching appointments at McGill University, as well as 235 medical residents per year, together with nursing and a wide range of allied health services. The Jewish General Hospital carries out more than 22% of the training for McGill's Faculty of Medicine and is home to several of the University's programs, including the McGill AIDS Centre, the McGill Centre for Translational Research in Cancer, the McGill Head and Neck Surgery and Oncology Program, and the McGill Menopause Clinic. The hospital's Lady Davis Institute is acknowledged as a world leader in many fields of research, including cancer (the Terry Fox Molecular Oncology Group), aging (the Bloomfield Centre for Studies in Aging), epidemiology (the Centre for Clinical Epidemiology and Community Studies), nursing (the Centre for Nursing Research), AIDS, cardiovascular disease, genetics, emergency medicine, nephrology, and the psychosocial aspects of illness. The outstanding quality of this work has often enabled the Lady Davis Institute to attract more funding per researcher than any other hospital affiliated research institution in Quebec.
