Centre hospitalier/- hébgt; Chirurgie ambulatoire? If you try these and Montréal, you will get a couple of hospitals, but f you have the name of the hospital concerned, then you will probably get closesr still to what you are looking for. For now, I'm still getting what has already been suggested, "C..H." as either "centre hospitalier" or "centre d'hébergement". The problem remains with "C.A."

Maybe it's short for "Chirurgie ambulatoire"?
Nikki Scott-Despaigne Feb 21, 2017:
I note that you are in the US. In the UK, the term "outpatient" is used to describe hospital treament, consultation, surgery, etc. that does not require an overnight stay. perhaps "ambulatory surgery", "same-day surgery" or "day surgery" ar emore common in the US? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outpatient_surgery
Charlotte Schwennsen (asker) Feb 21, 2017:
The CH is in Montreal.
This is a one-day surgery admission record. Thank you, Nikki Scott-Despaigne.
("Chirurgie de jour" and "chirurgie d'un jour" are translations for "Day surgery"

C.A. In what town in the CH located? It may be "Centre hospitalier", but not necessarily. If you have an address, or at least the town, then it would help direct searches.
Nikki Scott-Despaigne Feb 21, 2017:
att: admission chirurgie d'un jour You have translated this as "day surgery admission record". That would be "de jour" and not "d'un jour"; it means for one day, not by day.
It is an outpatient admission record for one day, a one-day outpatient admission, or something along those lines.

Agree with Marco - centre d'acceuil - see for example http://www.chsldmarcelleferron.com/

Source is not target!
Marco Solinas Feb 20, 2017:
Also You may want to consider "centre d'hébergement" for CH.
Marco Solinas Feb 20, 2017:
Accueil? Centre d'accueil?

Proposed translations

français term (edited): C.H. C.A. Centre hospitalier/- d'hébergement; Chirurgie ambulatoire
Selected

(City) Hospital; Outpatient/Day Surgery

I'm confident of meaning, but you may have to tweak to suit the hospital in question.
In fact, looking back, you answered the question yourself.
C.H. is either "Centre hospitalier" or "Centre d'hébergement" as colleagues ahve sugegsted.
C.A. is no doubt short for "chirurgie ambulatoire", thus "ambulatory surgery", "outpatient surgery", day surgery", whatever term is most familiar to your target reader.

Er, it could also be "Centre Ambulatoire" but in view of the info you've provided, I suspect it is "Chirurgie Ambulatoire".

My confidence level should ahve been set to a more modest half-way house of 3. ;-)
