From a Halloween parade by Magical Paws to staff and residents dressing up in costumes -- the Halloween spirit was felt at both sites of our hospital, St. Joseph's Continuing Care Centre, and our long-term care homes. St. Joseph's Villa was also treated to a visit by some little trick or treaters from a nearby daycare and musical entertainment. Thank you to all who brought their energy and creativity to the celebrations!

De la parade d'Halloween organisée par Magical Paws aux costumes portés par le personnel et les résidents, l'esprit d'Halloween était présent dans les deux sites de notre hôpital, le St. Joseph's Continuing Care Centre et les maisons de soins de longue durée. La St. Joseph's Villa a également reçu la visite de petits enfants déguisés provenant d'une garderie voisine et a pu profiter d'un spectacle musical. Merci à tous ceux qui ont apporté leur énergie et leur créativité à ces célébrations !

🌟National Patient Safety Week's theme — All Voices for Safer Care — speaks to the importance of listening to the voices of patients and families.

As part of our strategic direction to advance excellence in our care, St. Joseph's Health Centre is working to enhance person-centred care and health outcomes by implementing new models of care. The Compassionate Care Model involves learning how to be an active listener.

At St. Joseph’s we’re listening and learning!


🌟Le thème de la Semaine nationale de la sécurité des patients, « Des soins plus sûrs, portés par toutes les voix », souligne l'importance d'écouter les patients et leurs familles.

Dans le cadre de notre orientation stratégique visant à promouvoir l'excellence dans nos soins, le Centre de santé St. Joseph's s'efforce d'améliorer les soins centrés sur la personne et les résultats en matière de santé en mettant en œuvre de nouveaux modèles de soins. Le modèle de soins compassionnels consiste à apprendre à écouter activement.

Au St. Joseph's, nous écoutons et nous apprenons !

Did you know Occupational Therapists(OTs) can make a big impact on patients' lives by helping them overcome physical, mental or cognitive barriers? October is Occupational Therapy month and today (Oct. 27) is World Occupational Therapy Day, a great time to celebrate the role they play in transforming lives! 💛

Occupational Therapists at both sites of our rehabilitative care hospital, St. Joseph's Continuing Care Centre, work with patients to help them achieve their goals whether it's figuring out a new way to do laundry, put on socks, cook meals, garden or even golf.

Thank you Valerie, Gabrielle, Ashley, Rebecca, and Catherine for all that you do to help patients participate the activities that mean most to them.🫶

Our mission at St. Joseph's is to respond to the needs of the whole person -- body, mind and spirit. Occupational Therapists take this mission to heart in helping people flourish, despite challenges. 🌟

It’s exciting to get an award, especially one so meaningful to St. Joseph’s Health Centre’s mission to respond to the needs the whole person -- body, mind and spirit.

At our September Board meeting, CEO and President Kari Gervais received a Catholic Health Sponsors of Ontario (CHSO) Mission Leadership Team Award from Sister Sarah Quackenbush, board member and CHSO designate.

St. Joseph’s leadership team was commended for its extraordinary commitment to advancing mission-centred leadership and innovative integration of spiritual care into healthcare services. Factors included: preparing the community for the COVID-19 pandemic through the establishment of the Clarion site and answering the Gore Bay community’s call for help by bringing what is now known as St. Joseph’s Lodge (formerly Manitoulin Lodge) into our family of long-term care homes.

In addition to the award, CHSO will donate $1,500 to further mission education at St. Joseph’s. Thank you team and thank you CHSO!💛🌟
