Healthcare workers are modern day superheroes; there’s no question about it. While Canadians are being asked to stay home and practise social distancing, our courageous St. Joe’s staff come to work every day, prepared to do battle on the front lines and behind the scenes, to care for patients and to protect our community from the COVID-19 virus.

You can support their courageous fight with a gift to our COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund. Your gift of $50, $100 or even $250 will help St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton to purchase much needed supplies and equipment. Now more than ever, we need to ensure our Hospitals have the tools they need to continue caring for our community. Together, we will get through this.

Our hospital is going through more supplies than usual due to the ever-increasing demand for COVID-19 testing and care, and we need to purchase additional equipment to increase our capacity so that we can admit the most severely impacted patients to our COVID-19 unit at the Charlton Campus where they have the very best chance of recovery.

If you’d like a different way to help our Hospital, St. Joe’s needs your help to continue caring for our community during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Our Hospital is in need of medical, surgical and procedural masks. While model numbers of the N95 masks in the 1860, 1860s, 1870+, 8110s and 8210 are preferred, we are accepting all masks. We’re also in need of impervious gowns and face shields and new or gently used baby monitors. If you’re able to donate any of these materials, please email us at donations@stjoes.ca.

Supplies Needed:

• Medical, surgical and procedural masks (N95 masks in the 1860, 1860s, 1870+, 8110s and 8210 are preferred)
• Impervious gowns
• Face shields
• Gently used baby monitors
