Dr. Harold Rosen was born in 1921. In 1951 he was chief resident at the Montreal Neurological Institute, where he first began to have thoughts of opening a Neurosurgical unit at the JGH. He put these plans on hold however when he moved to Saint John New Brunswick to open the first Department of Neurosurgery at the Saint John Hospital. He stayed there for 10 years working mostly by himself as a neurosurgeon. In 1962 at the insistance of Dr. Harry Ballon, chief of surgery at the JGh, Dr. Rosen reopened the idea of creating a neurosurgical unit at the JGH. The Hospital was going through an expansion campaign and hoped to open a unit in the new building extension. At the 1963 inauguration of the expansion campaign, Dr. Wilder Penfield spoke of the need of a Neurological Unit in the new building. Rosen returned to Montreal in 1967 and spent the next few months organizing a Neurosurgery Unit, and by 1968 it opened and he was its first chief-surgeon. He stayed in that position until 1981.
