Opening of the Roy-Rousseau clinic in 1926, adding the school La Jemmerais in 1928 and flag Dufrost in 1931, give a new face to the institution.

A company reform in the early 1960s changed the vocation of the hospital. Since its Foundation, it had always been a very broad territory; patients that he received came from all regions of Quebec.
