Arrivées en Nouvelle-France en 1639, ces pionnières des soins infirmiers et de la profession de pharmacienne y ont transplanté une ancienne tradition hospitalière fondée sur la foi chrétienne. Uniques par la durée de leur oeuvre hospitalière, ces moniales ont prodigué soins corporels et spirituels pendant plus de trois siècles. Leurs relations étroites avec l'Université Laval ont favorisé les progrès de la médecine et la professionnalisation des soins infirmiers. L'Hôtel-Dieu de Québec, qu'elles ont dirigé jusqu'aux années 1960, témoigne de leur apport à l'essor d'un système hospitalier et au domaine de la santé au Canada.

Arriving in 1639, these pioneers in the fields of nursing and pharmacy brought an ancient hospital tradition founded on Christian faith to New France. Unique for the long duration of their hospital work, these cloistered nuns provided physical and spiritual care to the sick for over three centuries. Through their close links with Université Laval, they contributed to the progress of medicine and the professionalization of nursing. The Hôtel-Dieu de Québec, which they managed until the 1960s, is a testament to their contribution to the development of a hospital system and health care in Canada.
