Support Hand and Upper Limb Care

Medical equipment and technology are important components to providing care. They are essential in: 

• diagnosing and treating disease;
• guiding surgeons through complex procedures;
• supporting patients in their recovery from illness or injury. 

At HULC equipment needs range from simple hand therapy tools to advanced imaging equipment like the new C-Arm Fluroscopy Units that provide crisp, clear images that guide surgeons throughout a procedure.

Surgical fellowships are training opportunities for emerging surgical leaders who are interested in further refining and advancing their skills.

A surgical fellow in HULC will spend 12 months at St. Joseph’s gaining experience. They also have the opportunity to undertake multiple research projects that will advance patient care.

Surgeons from outside Ontario who want to learn from St. Joseph’s surgical leaders must self-fund or find funding to support their training experience. And that’s where your support comes in. It is urgently needed to fund a fellowship that will allow advanced surgical care for people in our community.

Research is at the heart of every health care advancement.

At. St. Joseph’s, we take a "bench to bedside" approach to medical research. This means taking discoveries from the laboratory and applying them in the clinic where they will directly benefit patients.

At HULC, medical research is pursued in a variety of areas including biomechanics, mechatronics and mixed reality technology to enhance surgical precision for shoulder replacement patients.
