The Grey Nuns Community Hospital is an acute care hospital located in the Mill Woods area of south Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The Grey Nuns Community Hospital provides a full range of services including a 24-hour Emergency Department. The 14-bed tertiary palliative care unit is known for its delivery of care and teaching practices.[1] The hospital traces its roots to the Grey Nuns of Montreal who sent Sister Emery (Zoe LeBlanc[2]), Adel Lamy and Alphonse (Marie Jacques)[3] to the Edmonton area in 1859.[4]

In 1996 Dr. Lorne Warneke opened the first gender clinic in Canada at the Grey Nuns Community Hospital, where he served as medical director until retiring in 2017.[6][7] Dr. Warneke was a major advocate for transgender rights, and played an important role in getting Alberta Health to cover gender reassignment surgery in 1984, and again in 2010.[8][9][10]
