For Angelo Paletta and Vince Molinaro, giving back to Burlington is a passion — and this year, they’re once again bringing that spirit to HorsePower 4 Hospital’s 5th annual event. 🏎️

As co-founders, Angelo and Vince are on the road to raising $1 million over the five years of HorsePower 4 Hospital, helping fund urgent equipment needs at Joseph Brant Hospital.

Angelo Paletta has been a longtime champion of Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation and currently serves as Chair of its Philanthropic Advisory Council. He played a key role in the "Our New Era" campaign, which raised $65M for the hospital’s redevelopment, and continues to support causes across Burlington. He brings his commitment to giving back to the community, together with his extensive car collection, to help create this visionary event.

Vince Molinaro, community builder and President of Molinaro Group brings his love of vintage cars and a family legacy of giving back to HorsePower 4 Hospital. Through significant support for Joseph Brant Hospital, as well as local arts and urban initiatives, Vince and The Molinaro Group continue to help make Burlington a stronger place to live and thrive.

At JBH, a redesigned Mental Health and Addictions inpatient unit will mark a new chapter in mental health care in Burlington, reshaping how patients experience and receive care.

More than a physical upgrade, every element of the new unit - including private rooms and purpose-built therapy areas - has been thoughtfully designed to support recovery, dignity and comfort.

“We know that sunlight and exposure to nature are important to mental health, and having individual rooms will facilitate better sleep,” says Dr. Anna Maria Abadir, Chief of Psychiatry. “The new Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit will also allow us to provide more person-centred care for the patients who need a high level of clinical observation and support.”

For a long time, Sarah looked like she was doing okay.

Behind the scenes, she was struggling with her mental health, feeling lost, overwhelmed, and unsure where to turn.

When she came to Joseph Brant Hospital during a mental health crisis, she found more than care—she found compassion, connection, and hope. Today, she's using the skills she learned to build a brighter future and hopes to one day support patients through a healthcare career of her own.

Sarah's journey is an honest and inspiring reminder that healing is possible, and that no one has to face their hardest moments alone.
