Patients are at the centre of everything we do — and Canadian Patient Safety Week is the ideal time to reflect on how staff prioritize patient well-being, dignity and empowerment. This year’s theme is “What Comes to Mind When You Think About Healthcare Harm?” We are focused on nurturing a culture where every team member is empowered to recognize and address harms in all of their forms. Through our team’s dedication and expertise, and by working closely with patients and partners, we are continually evolving to meet the needs of the people we serve.

About us
Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care is a 315-bed academic and teaching hospital that provides specialized mental health, addiction and geriatric care. Located on the shores of Georgian Bay, we serve some of the most complex and disadvantaged individuals in Ontario and are the sole provider of high-secure forensic mental health services in the province. Waypoint’s 1,300+ staff improve lives and bring hope to people with mental illness and substance use issues. The care we deliver on site, in the community and through partnerships is informed by our innovative practices and – importantly – patient voices. We are sponsored by the Catholic Health Sponsors of Ontario. Each patient’s journey is unique, and we support their recovery with compassion, dignity and inclusivity. Waypoint staff are internationally recognized for their leadership and research, which they approach with professionalism and humility. This dedication deepens understanding of mental health and addiction, and helps to build a better future for patients, their families and care partners, staff, the community and the health care system.
