Hello there
I'm Natalie, the Patient Care Manager at St. Joseph's Health Centre Emergency Department. It's my pleasure to extend a warm invitation to you to become a part of our vibrant team.
Nestled in the heart of a diverse community, St. Joseph's Health Centre stands as a comprehensive healthcare beacon. As a proud Catholic teaching hospital affiliated with the University of Toronto, we're recognized by Accreditation Canada for our healthcare excellence. Our 376-bed facility in West Toronto serves over half a million residents, blending community-connected care with top-tier medical services. Surrounded by High Park's serenity and a culturally rich neighborhood, we're located near Lake Ontario, providing a peaceful setting while we expand and enhance our patient services. This includes our state-of-the-art department offering comprehensive emergency and pediatric care.
In our collaborative environment, we integrate human dignity and inclusivity in our holistic approach, making us a vital health partner in our community. As part of Unity Health Toronto, alongside St. Michael's Hospital and Providence Health Centre, our goal is to be Canada's leading community-based teaching hospital.
A nurse myself, I wholeheartedly embrace the sentiment, "In the symphony of medicine, nurses are the indispensable harmony." Our search is for those who share a deep-seated passion for the broad and dynamic scope of emergency nursing. Our department serves as a hub for world-class practitioners, and we are dedicated to fostering the growth and success of our new team members. Our commitment lies in guiding them to flourish, ensuring that they play an integral role in delivering exemplary care experiences to our patients.
