The Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre (JHCC), located on the Hamilton escarpment, is home to one of the largest and most comprehensive Regional Cancer Programs in Ontario. A general medical/surgical hospital, it serves a population of more than 2.3 million people and offers a diverse set of patient care services including a comprehensive emergency department, medical and intensive care services, surgical oncology, complex malignant hematology, oncology, orthopedics, arthroplasty, rehabilitation and diagnostics. The JHCC is also a pioneer in life-saving adult stem cell transplant and cellular therapy where the first successful transplant from an unrelated donor in Canadian history took place. As of the country’s most advanced academic and research-intensive cancer centres, the hospital continues to grow and plans are under way to add a new patient care tower and advanced diagnostics.
