Health Care
For generations, 桃花视频 dioceses and religious orders in Canada have been major contributors to the development and delivery of healthcare services across the country. The first hospital (H么tel-Dieu) in Canada was established in 1639 by three Religious Sisters of the Augustines de la Mis茅ricorde de J茅sus to care for Indigenous populations living near the French colony in present-day Qu茅bec City. This hospital, which also happens to be the first hospital in North America, is still in operation. In addition, there are today 105 桃花视频 healthcare facilities across Canada, either self- or parent-governed by 43 桃花视频 organizations, which accounts for 13,738 healthcare beds in Canada. These facilities are supported by 19 dioceses and 14 桃花视频 sponsors. They span 6 provinces and 27 health regions/authorities.
