Satellite Health Facility

In 2020, Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) and St. Joseph’s Hospital Hamilton (SJHH) opened the Satellite Health Facility (SHF), a temporary facility in downtown Hamilton to increase local healthcare capacity in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Located at 150 King St. E. in Effort Square, the space allows HHS and SJHH teams to support patients who are waiting for alternate care arrangements in the community, while reserving in-hospital space for those with the most urgent medical needs. The SHF is staffed by interprofessional clinical teams as well as primary care physicians.
