An extensive collection of over 500 artworks by artists such as Marcel Barbeau, Geneviève Cadieux, Stephen Conroy, Adad Hannah, Jacques Hurtubise, Rita Letendre, Guido Molinari, Marc Séguin, Richard Serra, Françoise Sullivan, Claude Tousignant and Richard Max Tremblay have been installed throughout the hospital. Canadian painter Marcel Barbeau's highly original work-which ranges from free-flowing abstractions to highly geometrical pieces-has been widely exhibited in Europe, Canada and the U.S., while the works of Scottish artist Stephen Conroy, which depict mostly male figures, have also earned him international recognition.

The more than sixty-five works installed in the Nuclear Medicine Department in 2010 make up the largest gallery in the hospital. Half of these were donated by the director of the department at the time, who had been collecting art for over thirty-five years. He saw the addition of the artwork as a way of humanizing the industrial space and creating a healing environment.

The success of this collection led to a memorable opening, where we had the honour of welcoming Christine St-Pierre, then Minister of Culture, Communications, and the Status of Women in Quebec.
