The Chairmen Family Foundation donates $3.5M to support new Mental Health and Addictions Unit at Joseph Brant Hospital  

The Chairmen Family Foundation, a private, Burlington-based charitable Foundation, has made a transformational gift of $3.5M to the Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation’s For All Minds Campaign in support of the redevelopment and expansion of the Mental Health & Addictions Unit at Joseph Brant Hospital (JBH).

“Our family has long believed in the importance of having access to high-quality mental health and addictions care, right here in our community,” said a representative of the Chairmen Family Foundation. “We are proud to support this important initiative at Joseph Brant Hospital, a leader in community-based mental health and addictions care, and hope this gift inspires others to contribute in their own way.”

This gift is another step forward in the journey to redevelop JBH’s Mental Health and Addictions (MHA) program space to create therapeutic facilities that ensure a dignified, respectful, person-centred experience. The Government of Ontario approved the project in November 2024 and will make a significant impact on those who require timely and high-quality mental health and addictions care.

Mental illness affects all Canadians at some time either through their own experience, or that of a family member, friend or colleague. In any given year, 1 in 5 people in Canada will personally experience a mental health illness, and by age 40, about 50% of the population will have had or be living with a mental illness.

The three core elements of the redevelopment project include a relocation and expansion of the Inpatient Mental Health and Addictions Unit with the addition of a Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), a relocation of some of the Outpatient Mental Health Unit, and the addition of a new Child and Youth Mental Health Day Hospital.

“We are truly honoured and immensely grateful to have received this gift which will make a tremendous difference for our patients and their families,” said Ashley Davidson, Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation President & CEO. “This generous support will help us build state-of-the-art facilities, and provide faster and more accessible care in a comfortable setting, close to home.”

The For All Minds Campaign is committed to raising $20M in support of this essential project.

“This campaign will support JBH with achieving its vision to build a modern, person-centred facility that is purposefully designed to instill hope and support healing,” said Leon Denbok and Phil Davidson, Co-Chairs of the For All Minds Campaign Cabinet. “We are so grateful to the Chairmen Family Foundation, and all the donors to the For All Minds Campaign, for helping to ensure the safest and most dignified care will be available to patients.”
