London, ON - St. Joseph’s Health Care London announced a $65.75-million, 10-year investment from the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB).
The investment is a game-changer in occupational health research. It will support the creation of Canada’s first Occupational Injury Prevention and Treatment Research Network to be based at Lawson Research Institute, the innovation arm of St. Joseph’s. This new Network will be dedicated to research in work-related injuries and illness including: chronic pain prevention and treatment; musculoskeletal injury prevention and treatment; and mental health.
This is the largest-ever research investment made by WSIB, the largest stewarded through St. Joseph's Health Care Foundation, and one of the largest investments of its kind in the region.
St. Joseph’s is grateful to the WSIB leadership for their confidence in our work and in the innovation and discovery that will transform the lives of people provincially, nationally and internationally.
