With a unique culture, deeply rooted heritage and compassionate workforce, St. Joseph’s is well known as a leader, connecter and anchor in our community.
As the health care landscape continues to evolve, we are ready to reach higher, be bolder and continue to build on our legacy of caring for the body, mind and spirit of those we serve. It’s on this premise that we embarked on a path to revisit and refresh our mission, vision and values.
With in-depth and inclusive engagement from staff, clinicians, researchers and volunteers from across the organization as well as community partners and stakeholders, our refreshed mission and vision reaffirms our unwavering commitment to compassionate and holistic care, honours our Catholic roots, reflects our focus on inclusivity and strengthens our mandate of care, teaching and research.
Our values of respect, excellence and compassion have stood the test of time and will continue to guide us each day, reminding us that how we care for others and each other is just as important as what we do.
This process was key in developing our new Strategic Plan – a roadmap for the next five years where we will continue to listen, learn and lead as we address the most pressing health care needs of our community.
We will do this work with health care, academic and research partners across the sector, locally, nationally and around the world.
As we move forward, we are committed to sustainability in its many forms – whether financial, environmental or operational – ensuring that our resources are used responsibly to support the long-term health and well-being of our community.
Like the small mustard seed, reflected in our organization’s logo, that grows into the largest tree, providing shelter and respite to all that nestle in its branches, our organization will continue to grow and extend its reach to those who need us most.
At the heart of this plan are three core commitments: excellence in care, powered by discovery; a vibrant workforce and partnering for impact. Across them all, we will remain anchored in curiosity, innovation and collaboration.
We know we can’t do this work alone. Every day we are inspired and encouraged by the dedication of our staff, clinicians, volunteers, learners, researchers, partners, donors and members of our community.
Together, we will realize our vision for exceptional care, stronger communities and a healthier world.
Thank you for joining us on this journey.
