For the first time in about 15 years, St. Joe’s is almost doubling and modernizing our Emergency Department to build the first post-COVID Emergency Department in the city.

This new space will be equipped with critical equipment to monitor our patients and keep them safe. We are greatly improving and innovating how our team delivers emergency care. We will create a safer, streamlined patient experience that integrates our learnings from COVID-19, including social distancing and isolation rooms to ensure the best possible infection control.

Now we need urgent funds to:

  • Expand Emergency by 40% with new zones to separate people into COVID and non-COVID areas;
  • Build dedicated, separate treatment areas by adding walls and partitions to ensure distancing between patients;
  • Design separate waiting areas that limit people and are built for social distancing; and
  • Build a new and improved Kids’ Emergency with better separation and special touches to make it feel calm, safe and special.

 

St. Joe's

Many people are surprised to learn that the government doesn’t pay for all of a hospital’s requirements. Donor support is needed to cover critical patient needs not funded by them.

Without support from donors, St. Joseph’s would not be able to provide the level of care that our neighbours require. We need support from you and our community to modernize and build new spaces, purchase new equipment and technology, and create specialized areas to meet the specific health care needs of our community.

 

Your Donations at Work

 

Donors make a difference at St. Joe’s. The CIBC Just for Kids Clinic, the Bachir Yerex Family Dialysis Centre, the renovated Mental Health Emergency Services Unit, and the Learning Centre are all examples of what our community can do.

But now we need you to ride as West End Warriors to help us fight COVID-19 to keep our community healthy and safe.

But, we still need your help
