Building History…Building Dreams…The Tradition Continues!
Through the dedication of the Sisters of St. Joseph and a caring community,
St. Joseph’s Hospital opened its doors in 1955. True to their commitment of providing quality, compassionate care, many health care professionals, volunteers and community leaders shaped the legacy of St. Joseph’s of the past, which continues in St. Joseph’s Lifecare Centre!
Innovation
Many innovative programs and services were offered throughout St. Joseph’s Hospital’s five-decade history to make a significant impact on the health of our community.
Challenge Brings Change
As a result of provincial hospital restructuring, the closure of St. Joseph’s Hospital in March 2001 meant the transfer of its programs and services to area hospitals. Through the creation of the St. Joseph’s Lifecare Centre, Brantford, St. Joe’s responded creatively and vigorously to the long-term care needs of Brantford and Brant County. The Stedman Community Hospice for the terminally ill offers another dimension of care for those in need.
