A Healthy
Hospital
St. Joseph’s commitment to a healthy
workplace and creative approaches to
achieve it has won the organization a
recent Ontario Hospital Association
(OHA) Healthy Hospital Innovators
Award. Developed in partnership with
the National Quality Institute (NQI),
the award recognizes OHA member
organizations that demonstrate a longterm
strategic approach to develop
and sustain a healthy workplace, and
efforts to become role models in their
communities. It also acknowledges a
willingness to participate in knowledge
transfer on healthy workplace initiatives
and effective practices.
“We are thrilled to win this award,”
says Karen Stone, chief human resources
officer. “It recognizes the hard work of
many to create an enviable workplace
that maximizes the health and well-
being of staff, physicians and volunteers.
While there is always work to be done
and ways to improve, the award affirms
that St. Joseph’s is indeed a place where
those who work here are as important
as the work itself.”
