Joseph Brant Hospital (JBH) is a full-service community teaching hospital located in the growing and thriving community of Burlington, Ontario. The hospital serves residents from Burlington and surrounding cities of Hamilton, Waterdown, Flamborough, Milton and Stoney Creek. JBH is one of Hamilton Niagara’s Top Employers for six consecutive years, with a skilled staff of 194 physicians, 852 nurses, 2,062 full- and part-time staff and more than 700 volunteers. JBH is a Clinical Education site in conjunction with McMaster University, and designated as an Academic Community Teaching Hospital. Its expanded campus, including the state-of-art Michael Lee-Chin & Family Patient Tower, features an Emergency Department, 293 funded inpatient beds, and 9 Operating Rooms. JBH inspires and empowers a culture of caring and this is demonstrated in many ways including our commitment to the health, safety and well-being of our people. The Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation is a charitable organization founded in 1976. With the help of the community and corporate sponsors, it has raised over $40 million for the improvement of the hospital. Through fundraising initiatives, the Foundation works to assist JBH in its mission to provide compassionate quality health care.

“JBH is not only committed to medical excellence but also to creating a welcoming, inclusive and compassionate environment where everyone feels safe and valued. That’s what makes a hospital not just a place of treatment, but a place of healing.”

Hanadi was a newcomer to Canada when she joined us as a Patient Family Advisor in 2019. Her insights have helped newcomers feel more confident and supported as they navigate care.

She also made sure that newcomers' voices were incorporated into our refreshed Patient Declaration of Values (PDOV), a guiding document that reflects what matters most to our patients and their families.

“We helped shape the wording of the PDOV so that it reflects dignity, respect, trust, cultural awareness, positive impact and compassion," she said. "We made sure that the voices of patients, families, newcomers and diverse communities were included, so the declaration represents real experiences rather than just organizational language.”

For Beth, a Recreation Therapist, person-centred care can look like planning crafts, leading exercise classes, hosting a round of shuffleboard or facilitating discussion groups. It’s all about identifying and developing programming that meets each client’s individual needs.

“If you are creative, good at going with the flow and enjoy helping people and bringing them joy, this is the field for you,” she said. “It’s definitely not a desk job!”

This February, during Therapeutic Recreation Awareness Month, we’re highlighting Beth, who’s worked for over 30 years at Wellness House, Joseph Brant Hospital’s outpatient health care facility.

“I’m so lucky to be able to say that I truly love my job and am glad I can spend my career doing what I most enjoy."

“I know the value of the patient and family voice at decision-making and planning tables,” said Jill, a retired health care leader, family caregiver and valued member of JBH’s Patient Family Advisory Council.

Voices like Jill's played an important role in refreshing our Patient Declaration of Values (PDOV), a guiding document that reflects what matters to patients and their families.

“This document acts as a compass to shift care from being provider driven to person centred. It transforms the dynamic into a shared ownership of care, where patients know what to expect and staff are held to meaningful commitments."

A huge congratulations to our RN Lisa on the release of her book "The Handover: A Nurse's Last Shift," co-written with Tilda Shalof! 🥳

Published just last month, the book is a cross-generational reflection on the profession of nursing told through a series of texts, emails and conversations.

"I hope readers walk away inspired to find mentors and caring adults and equally inspired to become one," Lisa said. "I hope they reflect on what they wish to 'handover' to the people around them and to the next generation – whether in nursing or in life."

“Patients are at the receiving end of treatment and services. Their perspectives help staff better understand the people they’re caring for.”

After spending four weeks at Joseph Brant Hospital supporting his wife while she recovered from major surgery, Robert felt that he had valuable insights to help improve patient care.

Earlier this year, he joined the Patient and Family Advisory Council and was involved in the refreshing of the Patient Declaration of Values. This guiding document reflects what matters most to patients and families and outlines JBH’s commitment to compassionate, respectful care.

“I appreciate the opportunity to participate meaningfully in the development and implementation of policies and procedures that support the excellent staff at JBH,” Robert shared.
