Our Achievements
Throughout the year, our teams are committed to enhancing the
safe and quality care provided to our patients each and every day.
We strive to enrich the care experience of the people who we serve.
Some highlights of our achievements from the last year:
Joseph Brant Hospital received Accreditation with
Exemplary Standing, received the highest possible
designation for an accredited organization, awarded
following an evaluation of more than 3127 standards
based on quality, safety and efficiency. Accreditation
Canada provided an overwhelmingly positive report to
the hospital, highlighting the organization’s commitment
to quality improvement, patient centered care and
teamwork. They were impressed with the enthusiasm
and energy seen during visits to departments and units
across Joseph Brant Hospital and noted the tremendous
work we have done since our last Accreditation survey
four years ago.

Joseph Brant Hospital
The hospital has seen a significant and sustained
improvement in our Emergency Department,
having been recognized by the Ministry of Health
and Long Term Care as the most improved medium
volume hospital in the province, with an 11.5 per cent
improvement while experiencing a 5.8 per cent increase
in patient volumes. This improvement can be attributed
by the committed focus of our physicians, leaders and
front line staff on improving the flow of patients through
the hospital.
We improved our structured Visiting Hours to a new
patient-centred model focused on the family
presence. It provides family and partners-in-care
flexibility in visiting around the clock, 24 hours a day.
