Welcome to RUISSS McGill
The Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services (MSSS) created the Réseau Universitaire Intégré de Santé et Services Sociaux (RUISSS) in 2003. A portion of Quebec’s territory was assigned to each of the province’s four Faculties of Medicine (McGill University, Université de Montréal, Université de Sherbrooke and Université Laval), with the intent to facilitate specialized care, medical education, and medical research throughout the province’s many regions.
RUISSS McGill covers an area spanning 63 per cent of the territory of the province of Quebec and works to offer better access to health care for a population of 1.9 million. RUISSS McGill includes 7 different regional authorities, including 1 university hospital centre, 2 CIUSSS, 3 CISSS and 3 other health centres. Within the regions of its territorial responsibility, McGill University’s RUISSS supports health care delivery, teaching, research.
