History
Hôpital Saint-Charles (Saint-Charles Hospital) opened at the request of Monseigneur Louis-Zéphirin Moreau in 1902 as the first hospital in Saint-Hyacinthe. In 1928, construction began on the new Saint-Charles Hospital in its current location, with the hospital opening in 1930. The hospital was renamed Hôpital Général de Saint-Hyacinthe (Saint-Hyacinthe General Hospital) in 1964.
In 1968, the Hôpital Honoré-Mercier Corporation was created. On 13 November 1971, Hôpital Honoré-Mercier was inaugurated. The hospital was renamed Centre hospitalier Honoré-Mercier Inc. in 1984. A new emergency room opened on 26 April 1994. From June 2001 to April 2007, the hospital was renovated to correct water infiltration problems in the building. In 2004, the Hervé-Gagnon Pavilion opened, named for a longtime doctor of the hospital.
