Tips Before You Go

What to Bring

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 900 Rue Saint-Denis the address for the CHUM emergency department?
No. The address 900 Rue Saint-Denis is the CRCHUM — the research and administrative centre housed in Pavilions R and S. No clinical or emergency care is provided there. Patients requiring emergency care must go to Pavillon D of the CHUM hospital, located at 1001 Rue Sanguinet, Montréal.
Does the CHUM emergency department treat children?
No. The CHUM is an adult-only hospital and its emergency department serves adult patients exclusively. For paediatric emergencies in Montréal, please go to the CHU Sainte-Justine (3175 Chemin de la Côte-Sainte-Catherine) or the Montreal Children's Hospital (1001 Décarie Blvd).
What level of trauma care does the CHUM emergency department provide?
The CHUM emergency department holds Level I trauma designation — the highest level of trauma care available. This capability was carried over from the former Hôpital Saint-Luc, one of the three hospitals that merged to form the CHUM in 1995, and it means the facility is equipped to handle the most complex and life-threatening trauma cases.
How do I get to the CHUM by public transit?
The easiest route is via the Champ-de-Mars metro station (Orange Line 2), which has a direct underground tunnel connection to the CHUM complex — no outdoor walking required. Berri-UQAM station (serving Orange, Green, and Yellow lines) is also close by. Multiple bus routes including 14, 30, 50, 129, 361, 430, and 445 stop within a 2-minute walk.
Is parking available at the CHUM for emergency patients and visitors?
Yes. The CHUM has five underground parking levels with capacity for approximately 850 vehicles. Patients and visitors arriving for emergency care should head to the parking entrance near the hospital campus at 1001 Rue Sanguinet. Current rates are posted at chumontreal.qc.ca. Due to downtown Montréal traffic, public transit is strongly recommended when possible.
What makes the CHUM different from other Montréal hospitals?
The CHUM is one of the largest hospitals in Canada, with over 800 beds, 39 operating rooms, and more than 500,000 patient visits annually. It is a university-affiliated teaching and research hospital offering specialized and ultraspecialized care across more than 35 disciplines to adults from across Québec. Its predecessor institution, Hôtel-Dieu de Montréal, founded in 1645, makes it one of the oldest healthcare lineages in North America.
