About SJGHEL

From Our CEO

On behalf of the healthcare team at St. Joseph’s General Hospital Elliot Lake, I would like to welcome you to our website. It is our privilege to provide lifelong care to our patients, residents, clients, and community. We are committed to delivering first-class healthcare at our facilities, where you are in good hands. Our focus is to treat everyone who walks through our doors like family.

Building on the legacy of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Sault Ste. Marie and the leadership of our dedicated staff, physicians, and volunteers, we provide compassionate, patient-centred care to our community, region, and along the Highway 17 North corridor, in English, French, and Ojibway.

We remain focused on shaping the future of healthcare. Guided by the health and wellness needs of our community, our approach is rooted in unity. We will continue to coordinate care and services to ensure they are accessible when and where you need them. Patient experience remains at the centre of everything we do, and we are committed to an inclusive process that engages you every step of the way.

Our vision is to “work in collaboration with health providers to establish a first-class Centre of Excellence for patient health care in our region”. We continue to grow a talented and engaged workforce, explore innovative ways to integrate new technologies to enhance care quality, and develop sustainable healthcare infrastructure across Elliot Lake and surrounding areas.

I am honoured to lead the SJGHEL team, guided by our core values, and working alongside others in our region. I look forward to working with community members and patients to ensure an integrated rural and northern healthcare system that continues to meet the needs of our patients and families.

We hope that you will visit our site often for easy-to-access information on the care and services available to you and your family right here in Elliot Lake!

Thank you, Merci, Miigwetch,
