For over 130 years, our downtown hospital has joined compassion with technology to serve its patients. Today, St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton is a leading academic and research centre that is supported by a community of donors who are an essential part of our evolution. We have become leaders in respiratory care, kidney and urinary care, mental health and addictions, eye care, surgical services, cancer surgery and women's and infants' care. As always, we continue to be inspired by the shared values of the Sisters of St. Joseph, who founded our hospital in 1890. Learn more about St. Joe's below.
