NICHE Care for Older Adults

RWJUH Hamilton is proud to carry the NICHE Designation in recognition of our commitment to patient-centered care for older adult patients. NICHE hospitals recognize the specific/unique needs of older adult patients and that patient- and family-centered care is imperative to creating a positive experience for elders.
