| Description | A tradition of excellence in patient care has been the trademark of St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton for over 120 years. St. Joseph's Hospital opened its doors on June 11, 1890, as a 25-bed general hospital. The Sisters of St. Joseph, who came to Hamilton in 1852, founded this hospital with their compassion, and commitment to caring for those whom society had cast aside—the sick, the poor, and the dispossessed—and formed the cornerstone of the Hospital's mission. St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton has grown in both size and stature to become a major, multi-sited academic health sciences centre, affiliated with the Faculty of Health Sciences at McMaster University and Mohawk College. St. Joseph's Healthcare is home to the multi-million dollar Father Sean O'Sullivan Research Centre, the prestigious Firestone Institute for Respiratory Health, and the high-tech Brain Body Institute. St. Joseph's King Campus is a state-of-the-art facility that has pioneered models of ambulatory care and attracted visitors from around the world. As well, St. Joseph's West 5th Campus provides specialized, tertiary, mental health services for residents of Central South Region in Ontario and operates specialized mental health beds and provides leading edge community services to thousands of outpatients. St. Joseph's Hospital is a tertiary care teaching centre, which includes the regional centre for Kidney Transplants, Oncologic Surgery and a large acute care hospital. Among St. Joseph's teaching contributions is the internationally renowned Centre for Minimal Access Surgery, Firestone Institute for Respiratory Health, Brain Body Institute and the Nephrology Program. St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton has a combined budget in excess of $300 million and 580-plus beds.
