Tomorrow's Discoveries: Fueling the Future of Healthcare
Nowhere is the link between healthcare research and the delivery of patient care more evident than at St. Joseph’s. Here, the physician who cares for you is also likely to be a clinical scientist who studies the latest findings in their field. The laboratory that tests your blood is also the lab where innovative tests for the world’s most prevalent diseases are developed. It’s not just science…it’s scientific knowledge that informs patient care in a seamless transfer from bench to bedside.St. Joseph’s unwavering dedication to care and research means that treating a symptom is not where patient care starts and ends at St. Joseph’s. Through rigorous research we seek not only to diagnose or treat an illness or condition, but also to understand its root cause, investigate how it might have been prevented, and how best to treat this patient, and the patients who will follow in their footsteps. We do this by undertaking both clinical and basic scientific research at St. Joseph’s.
At a time when new and sometimes antibiotic-resistant strains of common viruses are emerging at a rapid pace, and when a pandemic can be as close as an international flight, the vital importance of supporting healthcare research has never been so clear.
