About the Network On Aug 1, 2017,Providence Healthcare, St. Joseph’s Health Centre and St. Michael’s Hospital ofcially united as one corporate entity when the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care approved the integration of the three hospitals.

The newly integrated network employs a combined 10,000 staf and physicians, and the three organizations are better positioned to serve patients, residents and clients across the full spectrum of care, spanning primary care, secondary community care, tertiary and quaternary care services to post-acute through rehabilitation, palliative care and long-term care, while investing in world-class research and education.

Given that the three organizations were founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph, all three sites of the network share a commitment to the Sisters’ legacy of caring for the most marginalized or disadvantaged in our communities, who are often among the most complex in terms of healthcare needs.

The Network has over 1,100 beds, and services 6,100 births, 794,000 ambulatory visits, 175,000 emergency visits and performs 57,000 surgical procedures per year. More than 10,000 staf, 1350 medical staf, 1200 volunteers, and 5,700 students are committed to providing excellent care to each and every patient.

The Network plans to develop its frst strategic plan to explore the incredible opportunities ahead and set a new and ambitious course forward as a network of three sites spanning the continuum of care. In parallel to this strategic planning efort, The Network is also in the process of developing a single Mission statement and a common set of Values, as well as completing the work of branding the newly integrated organization.

The board of directors of The Network plays critical role in guiding the organization, especially during this formative time.
