Bruyère is committed to the Home First philosophy. This approach to care means that once you arrive at Bruyère, everyone is working towards getting you healthy enough to return home or to the most appropriate setting in the community.


Saint-Vincent Hospital patients can visit our Path to Home lounge to find resources and tools to help work towards going home. It is in the Atrium, close to the terrace exit. For Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital patients, the information is available on your unit.
