Patient Stories
Patients are at the centre of everything we do at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC), and are the reason we at the MUHC Foundation are working to make the Best Care for Life campaign a success. There are countless wonderful stories of care and cure that come out of the MUHC every day.

Despite nine operations related to melanoma, 87-year-old James Schissler says he feels great thanks to the care he got at the Royal Victoria Hospital Site.
