Overview

Welcome to the Patient Education section of the St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton website!

This section provides written information on:

• common medical conditions
• health problems and
• types of surgery at St. Joseph's

All information is written in plain language by members of the health care team at St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton. Some have been written in combination with health care teams from our regional hospital partners.

The information is arranged in alphabetical order. Click on the first letter of the topic that you want to read about. For example, for information about Diabetes, click on the letter D.

Since each person is unique and treatments are individual, this information should never take the place of talking to your health care provider.
