Check out the youth volunteer opportunities at St. Peter's Hospital. We have a summer teen volunteer program for high school students (14-18) who would like to complete their community service hours in a health care setting. We provide many opportunities for students to interact with patients and help enhance the lives of the patients we care for. There is a wide range of opportunities available at St. Peter's from direct patient contact to clerical work.
What are we?
St. Peter's is a complex care Hospital. We have five distinct programs that run through our hospital. They are:
Community Services: offers comprehensive ambulatory services for older adults and the chronically ill who are well enough to live in the community but may need rehabilitation services.
Behavioural Health: specialized service for older adults who have a diagnosis of dementia and exhibit challenging behaviours.
Complex Continuing Care: provides care for patients who have multiple or complex medical needs and functional challenges as the result of a stroke or neurological condition such as Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
Rehabilitation and Assesment: offers a slow-paced client-centred approach to meet the rehabilitation goals of older adults with complex needs. Rehabilitation is directed toward discharge to home, retirement home or long-term care by helping patients reach their maximum level of functioning, independence and comfort.
Palliative Care: Hamilton's only designated palliative care unit for terminally ill patients who are in the final stages of their illness.
Where are we?
We are located at 88 Maplewood Ave. in Hamilton. Maplewood runs parallel to Main St. E. and our nearest major intersection is Main St. E. and Sherman Ave.
