As we emerge from the pandemic, we are inspired by the resiliency, determination, and success of our research and hospital communities. We continue to see exponential growth in research, as well as an increasingly strong focus on creating research and innovation outcomes that positively impact the lives of patients globally.<\/p>\n A key development this year has been the launch our inaugural strategic research plan, \u201cHealth and Humanity for All: Committed to Excellence, Dedicated to Discovery.\u201d Through this plan we highlight our commitment to serving our research community and preserving our culture of kindness, humanity, compassion, and goodness. It is this culture, combined with our research excellence, that truly sets us apart and will be paramount in helping us retain and attract the very best research talent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”1434″ img_size=”220×250″ alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeIn”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column animation_delay=”0″ responsive_padding_heading=”” under480_start=”” css=”.vc_custom_1696620993177{margin-top: -25px !important;}” under480_end=”” over480_under_768_start=”” over480_under_768_end=”” over768_under_1024_start=”” over768_under_1024_end=”” over1024_under_1280_start=”” over1024_under_1280_end=”” over1280_under_1366_start=”” over1280_under_1366_end=”” over1366_under_1600_start=”” over1366_under_1600_end=”” over1600_start=”” over1600_end=””][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1696620955417{padding-right: 25px !important;}”]<\/p>\n The development of this plan was a gift to both of us, as we were able to meet and speak to hundreds of individuals in our community and learn about what was really important to you. We hope you see your feedback incorporated into this plan, as well as the actions we take in the coming years. This is an organization made up of almost 200 investigators and 700 research staff and learners \u2013 we are committed to working with all of you to continue to build an enviable workplace and research enterprise.<\/p>\n Throughout this report you will see examples of the excellent research and innovation that goes on in our organization. From growth of research funding by 35% to $45 million, to more than 1200 publications and 497 active research projects, it is no wonder that we continue our climb from 26 to 24 in Research Infosource\u2019s ranking of Canada\u2019s Top 40 Research Hospitals<\/i>. It is this type of success that we want to continue to build upon, continuing to increase the national and international recognition of our organization.<\/p>\n As we look to future years, we are excited about what is to come \u2013 strengthening our partnership across the St. Joseph\u2019s Health System, as well as positioning ourselves firmly as a key player in the national research and innovation ecosystem. The future is so bright and we look forward to working with all of you to continue our journey.<\/p>\n \u2013 Dr. Lehana Thabane & Sarah Howe<\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_single_image image=”968″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Scientific Director, RSJH [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_single_image image=”969″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Executive Director, RSJH<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1695232001203{background-color: #008b77 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”1364″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n “As Chair of the Boards of St. Joseph\u2019s Healthcare Hamilton and The Research Institute of St. Joe\u2019s Hamilton, I have the privilege of being a part of two organizations that are unwaveringly dedicated to research and innovation in healthcare, and to the translation of this work to positively impact patient care, experience, and outcomes as well as the healthcare system overall. Embedded in our Mission, within the Leading and Learning directions of our strategic plan, the growth of research at St. Joe\u2019s and across the System is an increasing priority as we work together to build an integrated health system. The researchers and staff of the Institute have and continue to perform world class research that is internationally recognized. We are truly grateful to have such a talented and committed team as within The Research Institute of St. Joe’s.”<\/span><\/p>\n Lynn McNeil<\/span> “I\u2019m tremendously proud of how St. Joe\u2019s research teams have responded nimbly to the\u00a0unpredictable tides of the pandemic over the past year. It\u2019s clear that the resilience of\u00a0St. Joe’s\u00a0researchers demonstrates a keen ability to adapt to these\u00a0dynamic situations, and a commitment to our mission of living the legacy through discovery.\u00a0In fact, The Research Institute saw a funding\u00a0increase<\/i> of more than $3-million during\u00a0the 2021-2022 fiscal year \u2013\u00a0a 10 per cent boost over the previous year. This is evidence that\u00a0despite the ebb and flow of onsite research during the COVID-19 pandemic (particularly in the fourth\u00a0quarter as Omicron became dominant), the productivity of our researchers continues to surge.\u00a0As an academic health sciences centre within an integrated health system, St. Joe’s has and will\u00a0continue to grow internationally-recognized research that changes lives in the heart of Hamilton and beyond.”<\/span><\/p>\n Melissa Farrell<\/span> [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”16″][vc_separator][vc_empty_space][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-users” color=”custom” size=”xl” align=”center” custom_color=”#008b77″ link=”url:%2F2022%2Four-institute%2F|title:Our%20Institute”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\nJohn Aldis<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
