A new story of care
A Message from the President & Board Chair
Your donation matters here.
That short, but profound statement is true. Because behind every gift to St. Joseph’s Health Care Foundation, a new story of care is being written.
And, we are pleased to share just a few of those stories with you through our 2023-24 Community Impact Report. In it, you’ll read about the meaningful difference your support has made in the lives of people receiving care at St. Joseph’s, how it has advanced highly-specialized research that informs treatment and how it enables the continuous learning of the care teams. As part of our commitment to you, we continuously seek bold, strategic opportunities to ensure your support will be used to have the greatest impact.
For example, in the fall of 2023, we celebrated the installation of the country’s most technologically-advanced PET/CT medical imaging equipment, a standard of care for cancer and many other conditions and an acquisition made possible through a $1 million donor-funded grant made by the Foundation. This equipment will serve as critical infrastructure for St. Joseph’s new Centre of Excellence in Molecular Imaging and Theranostics – a national first.
Similarly, the Foundation committed to the future of robotic surgery with a $1.5 million grant to replace the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System. This investment will continue to build on St. Joseph’s national leadership in the field of robotic surgery in urology, breast care and general surgery. These and other donor-supported investments totaling more than $8 million will transform care today and in the future.
Engaging with you and the broader community provided some of the most memorable moments of the year. During the past 12 months, we enthusiastically welcomed the return to a full roster of events. From a sold-out audience at Breakfast of Champions featuring Lieutenant Colonel (ret’d) Stéphane Grenier, and the celebration of heroism at Tribute with special guest Ambassador “Sully” Sullenberger to one of our most fascinating DocTalks lectures yet with Dr. Narinder Paul, it was a pleasure to see so many of you. Exciting plans are underway to offer even more events in the coming year to showcase the impact of donor gifts.
While firmly rooted in our mission, we remain future-focused. Planning for the future dominated our efforts this past year. We worked alongside clinical and research leadership to help define the future of care at St. Joseph’s for the next quarter century. As our plans take shape, we look forward to sharing the development of that future vision with you.
It’s been an incredible year of engagement, planning and growth – and we’re grateful for your continued belief in our mission. Thank you for helping to write so many inspiring stories.
With gratitude,
