St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton has mobilized a team to provide medical and mental health services to dozens of people displaced by the devastating fire at the city’s downtown YMCA last month. St. Joe’s has been working with the Hamilton Downtown Family YMCA and other community partners to ensure that the individuals affected by the fire have access to urgent support, including mental health services, addiction support and case management. “The collaboration among local community organizations to help those affected by the fire is a testament to our strength in unity during times of need,” says Heather Radman, Clinical Director, Seniors Mental Health, Addictions and Ambulatory Care. “We are proud to be part of a community that takes care of each other.” 📸 The team in action (left to right): -Jemcy Thomas, Nurse Practitioner, Mental Health and Addictions at St. Joe’s; -Alicia Odette, Registered Nurse, Mental Health and Addictions (a few team members from our mental health outreach team); -Genevieve Hladysh, Vice President Health Fitness and Aquatics, YMCA of Hamilton/Burlington/Brantford; -Jaclyn Carbone, Donor Communications Specialist, YMCA of Hamilton/Burlington/Brantford.

This past Sunday, over 400 participants, donors, and sponsors came together for A Run for Chris! More than $40,300 was raised in support of mental health and addiction care here at St. Joe's Youth Wellness Centre and we couldn’t be more grateful! 💙🏃♀️ Hosted in memory of Chris Owens, and expertly coordinated by organizers Michelle Owens and Megan Roti, A Run for Chris 2024 was a great success. With warm weather, heartfelt speeches, good food, and of course a 5km run to honour Chris’ favourite pastime, our community came together like never before! In remembrance of Chris’ bright and loving spirit, the Valeri family kindly had a memorial bench in Chris’ name installed at Joe Sams Leisure Park which was unveiled at the event. Next time you visit the park, we encourage you to take a moment, sit on the bench, take in the nature that surrounds you, and remember Chris’ story. The funds raised will help St. Joe’s Youth Wellness Centre to provide a safe and compassionate environment for youth in our community to receive expert care for mental health and substance use concerns. So that no matter what brings someone to our doors, the expert team here at St. Joe's YWC will be ready to help. A special thank you goes out to all the sponsors whose donations helped this event succeed! To learn more, read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/gmvunxQJ

As the busiest Emergency Department (ED) in Hamilton, St. Joe’s provides consistent high-quality, compassionate care to more than 65,000 patients each year. Starting this week, St. Joe’s ED will undergo renovations. The renovations will support ED staff through several modernizations and improvements, including a larger waiting area, a new triage area, more patient assessment bays and a redesigned security station – all to enhance privacy, safety and provide dignity, hope and healing. The renovations are expected to be complete in about eight months. St. Joseph's Healthcare Foundation is working closely with our generous community of grateful patients, donors and friends to raise the funds that will make the renovation plans a reality.
