80% of acute care is provided in community hospitals, like St. Joe’s

Why Give

Our west end is one of the fastest growing diverse communities in Canada.

And St. Joe’s is seeing the demand. If you live in our neighbourhood, St. Joe’s will likely provide all the health care you need in your lifetime. That is good news because St. Joe’s is where the brightest minds are driven by the biggest hearts, and where cutting-edge technology intersects with time-honoured care.

But we need your support to continue to provide the best care and address the pressures on our west end healthcare.
