Several organisms have contributed to the definition and specificity of the CHA’s role:
These organisations have allowed and encouraged the CHA to undergo significant development, including the incorporation of teaching and research into its fundamental activities.
The various components, which make up the CHA have roles and a mission determined not only by their own development but also by the regional and national roles held by the CHA itself.
The collective history of the CHA is based on the combination of decades of experience and the provision of health care by different establishments which are now regrouped under a single banner. The same holds true for teaching and research. However, a more unified role and a consensus on its mission have become clearly evident during the last 5 years due to major reorganisations in the health system, the universities and in research.
Currently, important clinical resources allow the CHA to play a specific role in several areas of scientific research. The CHA is active in such fields as:
Other disciplines are also a part of the establishment’s sphere, including gynecology and obstetrics, pneumoallergy, microbiology and infectology, and cardiology.
This clinical and teaching activity has had a visible impact on the development of research in the past several years.
The CHA Research centre was the first in Canada to have developed a research team in the field of human tissue reconstruction by tissue engineering. The epidemiology research group joined the centre several years ago, and is now the population health research unit. These acquisitions have firmly incorporated the quality of versatility in research at the CHA.
