Today, we celebrate Founder’s Day at our Hotel Dieu Hospital (HDH) site. Staff gathered in our main lobby to mark the occasion with chocolates as we reflect on the incredible legacy of our founders.
Jérôme le Royer de la Dauversière and Marie de la Ferre answered the call to serve and co-founded the Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph (RHSJ) in France. In 1845 the RHSJ then opened a small hospital in Kingston, caring for the sick and vulnerable, and laying the foundation for the compassionate healthcare we continue to provide today.
As we honour their vision, we remain committed to meeting the evolving needs of our community - just as they did centuries ago.
