Who We Are
For over 120 years St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton (SJHH) has cared for the community in a spirit of compassion, innovation, and commitment, a drive that has nurtured the growth of the organization into a multi-site, regional, tertiary, academic health science centre. As a premier academic and research health care organization, SJHH commits to making a difference in people's lives and the future of our community, through integrated health services and internationally recognized programs.
