UNIT PROFILE



The Satellite Health Facility (SHF) is an extension of St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton and is located at 150 King Street. The SHF is a temporary, off-site hospital facility where non-acute patients will continue to receive health care while they prepare to transition to other services or community-based facilities, such as retirement or long-term care homes.
