Capital Equipment
Each year there are new requests for the replacement of equipment used in caring for our clients. We want our staff to have access to the best possible equipment to do that. Capital equipment needs are not funded by the provincial government so we rely on the support of donors to be able to buy those critical pieces of medical equipment for use throughout the SJCG sites. Please contact us at the Foundation office if you have an area of St. Joseph's Care Group you would like to support.
Our 2024/25 capital equipment list includes:
| Arjo Tu and Chair Replacement | $40,000 |
| Bariatric Chiropody Chair | $8,095 |
| Bladder Scanner | $15,995 |
| Bariatric Stretchers (2) | $16,747 |

St. Joseph's Care Group service area encompasses 47% of the province of Ontario. We serve many remote and isolated communities as well as the larger urban cities in our region.
The current needs in our region, and the growing demand for services, St. Joseph's Foundation and St. Joseph's Care Group are focused on quality care today and for the future.
More than Just Equipment
While the dollars raised by St. Joseph's Foundation are designated to purchase capital equipment, there is a far reaching benefit to the people that receive services from St. Joseph's Care Group than just the items themselves.
Your donations help to:
- Ease the pain of spending the last few days with a loved one;
- Bring joy to someone who is regaining their muscle strength and mobility;
- Improve the well-being of someone overcoming addiction and problem behaviours;
- Ensure the dignity of a person by allowing them to live with independence;
- Provide security to know that loved ones are safe and secure in their homes.
With your generous and continued support St. Joseph's Foundation can assist the people of Northwestern Ontario. The money raised can be of benefit to individuals requiring care, and their loved ones, now and for the future.
