We want to hear from you

St. Joseph’s Health Centre Guelph (SJHCG) strives to provide the best care to all of our clients. To help us attain this goal, we encourage you to share your experiences and feedback with us, positive and constructive.

What do I do if I experience difficulties while at SJHCG?

Our feedback brochure (PDF, 224KB) outlines the process you can follow to share your experience with us – compliments or concerns.

If you feel that a concern has not been resolved to your satisfaction through our usual processes, our Patient Relations Representative is available to assist.

What can I expect from Patient Relations?

You can expect to be heard and supported. Where applicable, we can provide you with information around SJHCG policies and processes, as well as what you can expect from our staff and physicians. Patient Relations Representatives are not Client Advocates, in that we do not “take sides”. Our goal is to help people to communicate better with each other – clients, family members, staff, and physicians. We will also ensure your feedback is shared with your healthcare team.

We are not Client Advocates. We do not “take sides”.
