Stay up to date with Joseph Brant Hospital and Foundation news, stories and announcements! JBH is also a partner member of the Burlington Ontario Health Team.

Opened on February 1,1961, Joseph Brant Hospital was erected on land owned by its namesake, Thyandenegea (Joseph Brant). Joseph Brant Hospital (JBH) is a full-service community teaching hospital located in the growing and thriving community of Burlington, Ontario. The hospital serves residents from Burlington and surrounding cities of Hamilton, Waterdown, Flamborough, Milton and Stoney Creek. JBH is one of Hamilton Niagara’s Top Employers for six consecutive years, with a skilled staff of 194 physicians, 852 nurses, 2,062 full- and part-time staff and more than 700 volunteers. JBH is a Clinical Education site in conjunction with McMaster University, and designated as an Academic Community Teaching Hospital. Its expanded campus, including the state-of-art Michael Lee-Chin & Family Patient Tower, features an Emergency Department, 293 funded inpatient beds, and 9 Operating Rooms. JBH inspires and empowers a culture of caring and this is demonstrated in many ways including our commitment to the health, safety and well-being of our people. The Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation is a charitable organization founded in 1976. With the help of the community and corporate sponsors, it has raised over $40 million for the improvement of the hospital. Through fundraising initiatives, the Foundation works to assist JBH in its mission to provide compassionate quality health care. Through our events and fundraising initiatives, we strive to build and strengthen community relationships, rally support for our cause, and ultimately benefit the community at large by helping to improve the quality health care provided by Joseph Brant Hospital. There are many ways to get involved and make a difference. We invite you to be an active participant in our community and its health care. View our Terms of Use: tinyurl.com/484waeb7

Early detection saves lives. It’s estimated that about 1 in 8 Canadian women will develop breast cancer during their lifetime, and 1 in 36 will die from it.

During Breast Cancer Awareness Month and on World Cancer Day, we are highlighting the Complete Breast Care Program (CBCP) at Joseph Brant Hospital and encouraging those over 40 to self-refer for a breast exam as part of the Ontario Breast Screening Program.

“Early detection is key! Breast self-exams are also important,” said Brenna (pictured right), a Registered Nurse Patient Navigator, who works in JBH’s Women’s Imaging Clinic helping patients navigate the breast screening and treatment process. “If you discover any changes in respect to your breast health, don’t delay talking to your primary care provider.”

Congratulations to Dr. Samieh Chavoshi on receiving a Mac-CARE Excellence in Teaching Award!

This annual award honours a community preceptor who demonstrates excellence in teaching, enthusiasm, and motivation to students, and embodies the lifelong, self-directed learning model of McMaster Medical School.

"Receiving this award has been an honour and incredibly validating," said Dr. Chavoshi, who has worked as an anesthesiologist at JBH for the last 27 years. "Sharing knowledge in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment is important to me, and I strive to create a space where learners feel comfortable asking questions, exploring ideas, and building confidence."

💚 On Bell Let’s Talk Day, we’re celebrating progress and possibilities. Last summer, we broke ground (well, walls) to make way for the new Michael and Laura Paletta Mental Health & Addictions Unit at Joseph Brant Hospital—marking the start of a transformative redevelopment that will deliver dignified, person-centred care for children, youth, and adults from across our region and beyond.

Every donation supports better spaces, better care, and better outcomes for patients and families.

Thanks to a generous $500,000 gift, Joseph Brant Hospital’s new Older Adult Cognitive Health Program (OACHP) will support the organization's focus on senior-friendly care.

The OACHP will allow for the hiring of specialized staff, including a nurse practitioner and occupational and recreational therapists, to support the complex needs of older adults. The program will improve on existing practices by providing the enhanced clinical resources and structure needed to best support our growing senior patient population, who suffer from mental health illnesses and the unique challenges faced by this patient population

Thank you, TD Bank Group, for your ongoing support and for enabling exceptional care.
