Your generosity breathes hope into our work
A Message from the President & Board Chair
There is something special about St. Joseph's.
From the compassion and ingenuity of care providers on the frontline to the visionary thinking of our research teams, St. Joseph’s continues to build on its strong legacy, setting a steady path forward that makes it unique.
As a donor, you play a significant role in contributing to that uniqueness. Your generosity enables innovation and breathes hope into our work to create a strong future.
Our 2024-25 Community Impact Report shares some of the many stories that illustrate the difference your donations have made in the lives of those receiving care at St. Joseph’s, and those whose care has been informed by quality research.
It has been an extraordinary year, in large part, because of your support.
Thanks to you, more than $8.7 million in grants to care, education and research initiatives, not funded by government, were provided by the Foundation to support a wide variety of innovative projects.
The holiday season brought with it an anonymous gift of $2 million, a remarkable contribution that will support the highest priority patient care needs, with an impact for years to come.
In January, we were thrilled to announce a $65.75 million investment from Ontario's Workplace Safety and Insurance Board to the Foundation for St. Joseph’s research. This landmark investment will fund a 10-year program of research to create the Operational Injury Prevention and Treatment Research Network, giving St. Joseph’s the leadership opportunity to transform and sustain workplace health through research.
In addition to serving those directly in our care, we also reached out to our community, with the establishment of Patient Assistance Funds, designed to help people who might be in transition and who may need a bit of help with personal needs of an urgent nature.
And in March, with the help of a generous donor family, we committed to grant $1.5 million to support development of a purpose-built space for a new model of care that extends traditional stroke rehabilitation.
No year would be complete without enjoying your company at our events. In 2024, beloved Canadians Neil Pasricha and Dr. Hayley Wickenheiser joined us for the Breakfast of Champions and Tribute Dinner. Their thoughtful presentations were matched only by their enthusiasm and the connection they made with so many of you.
Your continued confidence in the Foundation’s work means everything to us. And we are excited for the year ahead, which will be guided by a new strategic plan that will expand what we can do for patient care, with your continued support.
With gratitude,
Michelle M. Campbell

A message of thanks from St. Joseph’s President and CEO
Thank You… for making St. Joseph’s a priority for your charitable giving.
Your generosity is critical to helping us to achieve our mission and supporting the work of our clinical and research teams.
This year, your contributions provided more than $13.65 million in funding. Your gifts helped with the purchase of essential patient care equipment used in rehabilitation, surgery and imaging, advanced research initiatives in diabetes, mental health care and Alzheimer’s disease, and enriched education for nurses, volunteers and medical learners. I am deeply grateful for the trust you place in us through your generosity to St. Joseph’s Health Care Foundation, and for the impact I know it has on the care we provide.
