Our Focus for the Next Five Years
Our commitment to caring for the body, mind and spirit is guided by a clear path forward in our strategic plan.
Over several months, we reached out across the organization and community to gauge how people feel about St. Joseph's. Based on the feedback we received, three goals emerged to continue making a difference in the lives of those we serve.
- Excellence in Care: Powered by Discovery
- A Vibrant Workforce

These goals and their objectives will serve as our roadmap until 2030, grounded in curiosity, innovation and collaboration where we will provide exceptional care, build stronger communities and a healthier world.
St. Joseph's Strategic Plan 2025-2030
This plan was shaped by the voices of more than 1,000 individuals from across our community. This includes our staff, clinicians, researchers, volunteers, learners, care partner (patients, residents, families), Indigenous partners, Sisters of St. Joseph, health care leaders, St. Joseph’s Health Care Society and partners from academic and community organizations. We are privledged that they shared their time, knowledge and experience with us.
Excellence in Care: Powered by Discovery
Throughout our engagement process, St. Joseph’s was continuously described as a leader in providing exemplary care to everyone we serve, without distinction. Across every program and service, people shared positive experiences about our team and our approach to wholistic care.

From the Smallest Seed
The mustard seed symbol within St. Joseph’s logo speaks to the organization’s Catholic heritage while also offering a powerful metaphor for the organization’s mission and vision. The Parable of the Mustard Seed, which appears in the Gospel of Matthew, tells of a tiny seed that, once planted, grows into a large tree where birds can nest. It symbolizes how something small and humble can grow into something great and far-reaching.
This symbol is steeped in our enduring commitment to compassionate care, growth, innovation and transformation. Representing the visionary spirit of our founders, it continues to inspire our future, reminding us that simple moments and the most modest beginnings can lead to profound and lasting change.
