St. Joseph’s Health Care London (St. Joseph’s) has a history dating back to 1869. The Catholic health care organisation is governed by St. Joseph’s Health Care Society of the Roman Catholic Diocese of London, and its services are publicly funded. Today, the hospital system--which consists of four major sites and more than 3 million square feet of space--is one of Ontario, Canada’s leading teaching hospitals. Renowned for compassionate care, St. Joseph’s is one of the best academic health care organisations in Canada dedicated to helping people live to their fullest by minimising the effects of injury, disease and disability.
Together, St. Joseph’s Hospital, Parkwood Institute, Southwest Centre for Forensic Mental Health Care, and Mount Hope Centre for Long Term Care comprise the hospital system, which has an annual operating budget of more than $400 million.
