It was formed in 1996 when Hamilton General, Henderson General, McMaster University Medical Centre, McMaster Children's Hospital and Chedoke Hospital merged to form Hamilton Health Sciences Corporation. The union formed one of the largest teaching hospitals in Ontario with four sites, approximately 8,000 employees, and 1,000 physicians.
