A few Augustinian Sisters from the H\u00f4pital g\u00e9n\u00e9ral even invested in new regions when they founded the H\u00f4tel-Dieu Saint-Vallier de Chicoutimi in 1884 and the hospital in L\u00e9vis in 1892. The community was growing. To better understand why the Augustinian Sisters founded new hospitals, let\u2019s examine the history of the one in L\u00e9vis.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>An expanding region<\/h3>\n<p>L\u00e9vis was growing at a rapid rate during the late 19<sup>th<\/sup> century. The arrival of the Grand-Tronc railroad in the Anse Tibbitts sector in November 1854 lead to an economic boom on the south shore of Qu\u00e9bec City, which was just a few years before the Notre-Dame-de-la-Victoire parish became the city of L\u00e9vis in 1861. The railroad also helped the area\u2019s maritime activity to quickly grow, much to the detriment of Qu\u00e9bec City. From a demographic standpoint, the impact of the railroad and maritime activities was important, because in 1861, L\u00e9vis was the third largest city in the province after Montr\u00e9al and Qu\u00e9bec City<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Before the end of the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century, L\u00e9vis was already a city with a lot of services and businesses. As more and more companies were established in the city, the number of accidents and injuries also increased. Faced with unprecedented economic and demographic growth, local officials realized the need for healthcare services\u2014not only for the population of L\u00e9vis but also the over 20 000 people who lived in the surrounding regions of Bellechasse, Montmagny, and Beauce<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1619\" style=\"width: 1930px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1619\" class=\"wp-image-1619 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/monastere.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/old\/2018\/06\/L\u00e9vis-en-1864-1920x1626.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1626\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1619\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><center>L\u00e9vis in 1864.

It is notably thanks to determination of \u00a0Mgr Antoine Gauvreau that the H\u00f4tel-Dieu de L\u00e9vis was initially founded under the name of H\u00f4tel-Dieu-du-C\u0153ur-Agonisant de J\u00e9sus. In March 1887, Mgr Gauvreau asked the Augustinian Sisters of the H\u00f4tel-Dieu de Qu\u00e9bec to cross the St. Lawrence River and oversee the management of the hospital. This project placed lot of pressure on the staff at the H\u00f4tel-Dieu de Qu\u00e9bec, who were inundated with the needs of the local population. Not having a hospital in L\u00e9vis was also a problem for people on the south shore that had to go to Qu\u00e9bec City to get care. At the time, the only way to get across the St. Lawrence river was by steam boat (or the ice bridge in the winter). The Qu\u00e9bec Bridge was not completed until 1917 after many challenges and the death of nearly 100 people<a href=\"#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\">[3]<\/a>. Qu\u00e9bec City and L\u00e9vis were far from the debates about a third link that are occurring today!<\/p>\n<p>Despite these growing needs, the population of L\u00e9vis were initially not convinced that they needed a hospital. They did realize that it could become difficult to support all the charitable organizations that were growing in the city, such as orphanages and hospices. Nevertheless, Mgr Gauvreau finally convinced even the most adamant sceptics.<\/p>\n<p>The new hospital also inherited the home and land of Caroline Lagueux, a woman in L\u00e9vis who died in 1891 but bequeathed her property to the project. This specific bequest served to establish the monastery and hospital<a href=\"#_ftn4\" name=\"_ftnref4\">[4]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1622\" style=\"width: 1930px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1622\" class=\"wp-image-1622 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/monastere.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/old\/2018\/06\/HDL-L1-M11_11_1_H\u00f4tel-Dieu-L\u00e9vis-1892_1920x2428.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2428\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1622\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><center>The H\u00f4tel-Dieu de L\u00e9vis would never have been built without the generosity of Caroline Lagueux, a woman in L\u00e9vis who died in 1891.

Six sisters from the monastery at the H\u00f4tel-Dieu de Qu\u00e9bec crossed the St. Lawrence River: Philom\u00e8ne\u00a0Lemoine, Henriette\u00a0Beaulieu, Olympe\u00a0Chouinard, L\u00e9a\u00a0Lajeunesse, S\u00e9raphine\u00a0Marcotte and Honora\u00a0Shea. Here is how a journalist from L\u00e9vis described the event:<\/p>\n<p>What a touching scene to see six nursing nuns, who took vows of obedience, leave their cloister on orders from their Mother Superior and travel to a foreign place to come to the religious and medical aid of those in need. Their devotion inspires them to help others<a href=\"#_ftn5\" name=\"_ftnref5\">[5]<\/a><a href=\"#_ftn6\" name=\"_ftnref6\">[6]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sister Philom\u00e8ne\u00a0Lemoine, also called Sainte-Th\u00e9r\u00e8se-de-J\u00e9sus, was the Mother Superior in L\u00e9vis from 1892 to 1898, 1901 to 1907 and 1910 to 1913. She was at the forefront during a train accident in 1895 that caused 14 deaths and placed a lot of pressure on the H\u00f4tel-Dieu de L\u00e9vis. Sister Nativa\u00a0Routhier described how this major event unfolded:<\/p>\n<p>Thirty-four injured people were brought to the H\u00f4tel-Dieu de L\u00e9vis. [\u2026] We had to find room for all the patients. Every available space in our hospital rooms were used, but it was not enough. [\u2026] The novitiate was transformed into a sick bay for women. The Sisters even gave up their beds and mattresses to the poorly injured. [\u2026] The newspapers covered the July 9 accident in great detail and the H\u00f4tel-Dieu de L\u00e9vis was often in the headlines. Until then, the small hospital was only known to local residents in L\u00e9vis. All of a sudden, the hospital was put into the spotlight; H\u00f4tel-Dieu de L\u00e9vis became known by people on both banks of the St. Lawrence River as a place where the sick and injured could be cared for<a href=\"#_ftn7\" name=\"_ftnref7\">[7]<\/a><a href=\"#_ftn8\" name=\"_ftnref8\">[8]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1623\" style=\"width: 1930px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1623\" class=\"wp-image-1623 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/monastere.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/old\/2018\/06\/Chemin-de-Craig_1895-1920x857.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"857\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1623\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><center>The accident on Chemin de Craig in 1895.

However, the region\u2019s needs kept increasing and, at the beginning of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century, the hospital was, yet again, too small.\u00a0 The hospital was sold to the \u00c9cole apostolique Notre-Dame de Qu\u00e9bec, which was an educational institution to train future priests<a href=\"#_ftn10\" name=\"_ftnref10\">[10]<\/a>. In 1929, the doctors and Augustinian Sisters began working in a brand-hospital that had 234 beds, which was much more than the 20 beds that the initial hospital had in 1892. The monastery could house 125 nuns<a href=\"#_ftn11\" name=\"_ftnref11\">[11]<\/a>. In 1965, the hospital underwent further development at a time when Qu\u00e9bec hospitals were being modernized<a href=\"#_ftn12\" name=\"_ftnref12\">[12]<\/a>. The Augustinian Sisters\u2019 population started to dwindle.
