A Message from the President and the Chief Executive Officer


​A Commitment to Recovery. A Commitment to Quality.

​​It is a pleasure to report on the operations of the Wayside House of Hamilton as we enter our 48th year. Originally established as a recovery home in 1967, our services have expanded to include 51 beds in our integrated program and an additional 3 crisis beds that are accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on an immediate need basis. We have grown into a provincially recognized, integrated service provider that serves the community with both residential treatment and addiction supportive housing. We see recovery as a process and acknowledge that relapse may be a part of this process. With this mentality we ensure that clients in crisis will not need to wait for care, and with us, they never will. In alignment with the HNHB-LHIN and Ministry of Health, it is the goal of Wayside House of Hamilton to improve the client experience by fostering an environment that develops services of the highest quality.

This year, the Board of Directors have made a formal commitment to quality improvement through assessing services and optimizing outcomes. We have implemented a Quality Plan, developed a series of quality indicators, and will oversee the effective execution of the plan to achieve the organization's aim to improve quality at all levels. As a result, we promise to provide an unprecedented standard of care that will be recognized through the achievement of accreditation from the Canadian Centre for Accreditation.

The Wayside House of Hamilton also works with the Hepatitis C Secretariat through the Ministry of Health. We have a solid team of professionals whose sole mission it is to improve the quality of life and access to treatment for those living with the Hepatitis C virus. We do this in collaboration with the Shelter Health Network and are privileged to be one of a select group of dedicated providers in the province.

Our commitment to quality, integrity, thoughtful leadership, respect, and innovation have enabled the Wayside House of Hamilton to be
the provider of choice for men's substance-dependent abstinence-based services. We intend to further establish ourselves as the program of choice for any man seeking a lifestyle of abstinence. We respect this choice and honour any man who makes it. We would like to thank the HNHB I-HIN and other funders for their continued investment and caring support, and look forward to continuing to develop our partnerships in the years to come.
