Press Release – For Immediate Release
Québec City, January 24, 2024 — The ELNA Medical Group (“ELNA”), Canada’s largest network of medical clinics, continues its strategic growth with the acquisition of the largest medical group in the greater Quebec City area comprised of both La Cité Médicale in Sainte-Foy (Place de la Cité) and La Cité Médicale in Charlesbourg. Operating for over 15 years, these two medical complexes collectively span 60,000 square feet.
This strategic acquisition will see more than 100 physicians, 20 nurses, and a support team of over one-hundred professionals to join the ranks of the ELNA team, thereby enhancing La Cité Médicale’s service offering.

Its many services include family medicine, minor emergencies, numerous medical specialties including cardiology, psychiatry and infectious diseases, medical esthetics, and a travel health clinic.
La Cité Médicale also stands as a prominent leader in corporate medicine, delivering top-tier, professional, and personalized services grounded in a proactive, multidisciplinary approach. These services include enabling the recruitment of healthy employees, supporting safe workplace environments, disability prevention and management, and meticulous follow-ups to facilitate timely employee return to work.
“From our first meeting with the team at La Cité Médicale, we were impressed by the scope and quality of the services provided to their patients. Through the acquisition of this significant medical group, we aim to enhance our capacity to serve the patients of these reputable and well-established clinics” says Laurent Amram, President and Founder of ELNA Medical Group.
