Our story…

JH French has been a proud union print shop located in the heart of Hamilton since 1888. In those 137 years, we've had the privilege of supporting Canadians from coast to coast with their printing needs. As born and raised Hamiltonians, we are deeply grateful for the incredible organization that is St. Joseph's Healthcare, and for the dedicated hometown heroes who work tirelessly to keep our community healthy and safe. We know the work of healthcare professionals often goes unrecognized, which is why, this year, we are thrilled to be participating in the Around the Bay Race as a small way to show our profound appreciation. We humbly ask, if you are willing and able, that you please consider donating to this important cause. No contribution is too small, every dollar makes a meaningful difference in the lives of those who rely on the care and compassion of St. Joe's. With heartfelt thanks, JH French Printing 293 Mary St. N., Hamilton, ON 905-528-8385 info@jhfrench.com

Description

Welcome to our team fundraising page!

This year, we’re taking on the Around the Bay Road Race (ATB) and raising funds to support St. Joseph’s Healthcare Foundation. St. Joe’s is in many ways the heart of Hamilton – nearly everyone in our community has been touched by the incredible patient care they provide.

Your donation to support our run will help to fund the robotic surgery revolution underway at St. Joe’s.

Over the past 12 years, more than 4,500 people have received robotic surgery and dozens of research studies have shown they’re experiencing smaller incisions that heal faster, with less scarring, and reduce the chance of infection, too. But what’s more, is that robotic surgery patients are going home sooner, with fewer post-operative complications and a quicker return to their lives and families. 

Here’s the challenge: Robotic surgery is so new that only 3 of the 10 types of robotic surgery performed at St. Joe’s are funded by the province. For surgeries to help those needing a hip or knee replacement, and to treat those living with oral, esophageal, lung and bladder cancers, the Hospital relies on donations to events like the Bay Race. Let’s bring the power of robotic surgery to every patient who would benefit from it.

Thank you for donating to our run and for fueling the future of care at St. Joe’s.
