In 1873, the聽Hospital opened聽officially as the Hospice (Asile) St-Jean-de-Dieu on Hochelaga Street in east end Montreal. Because of this location, it was also known as Asile de Longue-Pointe. As with many other Francophone Montreal hospitals of the era, it was managed by the Sisters of Providence. The hospice was dedicated to the care of patients with mental illness (and was called a 鈥渓unatic asylum鈥� by the English). It comprised several buildings, all of which were built of wood. In 1890, in one of Montreal鈥檚 worst fires, the buildings聽were almost completely destroyed and聽approximately 100 people died.
The hospital was soon rebuilt (in stone) as 14 separate pavilions, six on the east side for men and six opposite for women; two pavilions at the front included chapels and space for the three doctors and caregiver sisters. A large addition, the Pavilion Bourget (named after the Bishop responsible for founding the Sisters of Providence in 1843), was inaugurated in 1928. The Hospice became known as a 鈥淗ospital鈥� in the 1920s and changed its name to H么pital Louis-H. Lafontaine in 1976. It was renamed again in 2013 as l'Institut Universitaire en Sant茅 Mentale de Montr茅al and has since merged with several other institutions as Centre Int茅gr茅 Universitaire de Sant茅 et de Services Sociaux de l'Est-de-l'脦le-de-Montr茅al.
