The creation of MEPEC goes back to early 2018 as a result of an initiative by a citizen who wanted to offer more services to the English-speaking population of the Montérégie region. In April 2018, CHSSN (Community Health and Social Services Network), funded by Health Canada, was authorized to create a new Network and Partnership Initiative (NPI) in the Montérégie East region. A 6-person board of directors was created and incorporated in October 2018. MEPEC became the 22nd NPI in Quebec and, since January 2019 has hired three employees to fulfill its mission.
