Few Montreal institutions can boast the history and pedigree of today's Grace Dart Extended Care Centre. The story goes back to the Protestant House of Industry and Refuge, which the Redpaths, Molsons, and other prominent philanthropic families founded in 1863 on distant farmland to house the poor in a clean and nurturing environment. The front cover shows the original "Old People's Home." The story also goes back to 1907 when, in honour of his deceased daughter Grace, chemist Henry Dart established the hospital depicted on the back cover for destitute tuberculosis patients. Both institutions adapted to rapidly changing needs as medical science advanced, as the Victorian world transitioned into a modern one, and as the Quiet Revolution transformed Quebec health care from private charity to coordinated efficiency. These two institutions eventually joined forces, forming a third chapter in this extraordinary story, Throughout history, however, there has been one constant: love and care.
