• It is with profound sadness that Joseph Brant Hospital and the Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation acknowledge the passing of David Braley. Mr. Braley was a Hamilton businessman and champion for the Canadian Football League where he served as owner of three teams including the BC Lions, Toronto Argonauts and Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He received the Order of Canada in 2019 for his contributions to the CFL, and for his entrepreneurial and philanthropic leadership in our community. We would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to Mr. Braley's family and the many people whose lives were made better by Mr. Braley's philanthropic support. His generosity has been felt across the country including his $3 Million gift in support of the redevelopment and expansion of Joseph Brant Hospital. We have lost a great Canadian and he will be missed. #BurlOn #HamOnt #DavidBraley #CFL #JBH

  • The community has come together in extraordinary ways this year to showcase their support for our frontline healthcare teams. We thank Emmie and Morgan and their success with their initiative to start up their business called COVID Corner. Emmie and Morgan sold tie-dyed 3-Ply masks and spray bottles of hand sanitizer. They raised over $1,000 to support the urgent priorities at our Hospital. We're grateful for the partnerships driven by our community's young leaders who help ensure our Hospital can provide the best case possible to our patients.

  • On World Mental Health Day and every day, we are proud of our Mental Health and Addictions team for the incredible, life changing care they provide for people like Craig. Craig Brown found himself in and out of the hospital from October until January. "I thought I was having a heart attack because I was so twisted up with my anxiety, and I thought maybe my medication wasn't working," says Craig. "When you see yourself as your enemy, it is the worst feeling in the world, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone." During a follow up appointment in January, Craig was admitted to the inpatient Mental Health Unit for a week. Here, he would be monitored and receive proper treatment. During that admission and through his treatment, Dr. Viljoen diagnosed Craig with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. "For 30 years, I've battled with anxiety and OCD. To be finally diagnosed with OCD, it gave me relief. It was like the puzzle was put together, and it made sense why I felt the way I did," says Craig. "I've acted a certain way my whole life, and my anxiety stemmed from not knowing why I felt the way I did." Through therapy, he found himself able to manage his mental health properly. "I worked with my therapist, Neena Malhotra, for many months, and she had a tremendous impact on my life. She taught me techniques to manage and even eliminate some of my symptoms," explains Craig. “Both Dr. Viljoen and Neena have had a significant and positive impact on my life.” Craig considers himself to be fortunate to be looked after by his team at Joseph Brant Hospital. He remarks on the support he received from the hospital as well as from his employer, co-workers, family, his children, step-children, and wife. "When I sit and reflect over the past year, I am very appreciative. My goals are back, my life is back, and my dreams are back," says Craig, "If you're struggling with your mental health, know that there are people who want to help you. Tell your doctor, a loved one, or someone you trust." #JBH #JBHF #MentalHealthStory #BurlON #MentalHealthMatters
