This is a wonderful project for Burlington residents who will receive exceptional care in exceptional surroundings close to home,” said Mr. Joyce. The Joyce Foundation, a private, family foundation created by Canadian entrepreneur Ronald V. Joyce had announced a $3 million donation back in April 2014, and increased that support with an additional $4.5 million. The Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation receives support from a number of dedicated individuals and organizations who host events throughout the year. Thank you to the dedicated community members who are a vital part of our fundraising efforts, and our truly representative of the spirit of this community. 30 Joseph Brant Hospital
