Camille Lefebvre

Camille Lefebvre was the first secular pharmacist to work in a hospital run by the Sisters of Providence. In 1972, he also became the first lay general manager of the hospital. This was a turning point in the history of the institution, which had been administered by nuns since its founding.

In 1986, Quebec’s minister of Health and Social Services confirmed the construction of a new 128-bed section for long-term care, as well as the refitting of an active geriatric unit. The long-term care pavilion opened in 1992, and in 1996 it became known officially as the Camille-Lefebvre Pavilion. The year 2012 marked its 20th anniversary.
