In 1924, the hospital merged with the Western General Hospital building at the corner of Tupper Street and Atwater Avenue. It moved to its current location in 1955.The MGH has been designated by the Quebec government as one of two Level I trauma centres in Montreal, .The MGH has been affiliated with McGill since 1832 and was one of the very first teaching hospitals.HistoryFund-raising to establish an English hospital in Montreal was undertaken in the years 1818-1820. The growing needs of the English-speaking population led to several charities, among them the Female Benevolent Society of Montreal and the Society for the Relief of Immigrants, to ask for help in building a new hospital. At this time, Montreal had two hospitals: the Grey Nuns' Hopital General and the Hôtel-Dieu de Montréal).
