SUBJECT:
2023 Strategic Plan Q3 Info Report
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE
The WECHU’s 2022-2025 Refreshed Strategic Plan provides strategic direction to the organization. The plan defines the organizational vision, goals, and objectives to engage staff and support local public health outcomes within the community - with a specific focus on priority populations.
The Good Governance and Management Practices Domain of the Ontario Public Health Standards (2021) requires the Board of Health to provide governance direction and remain informed about the activities for organizational effectiveness through evaluation of the organization and strategic planning.
DISCUSSION
The 2023 Q3 Strategic Plan Progress Report provides the objectives under each strategic priority with corresponding updates to measure our advancement towards achieving the goal.
Progress has continued on a majority of the strategic objectives. The program impact review has been completed, and members of the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusivity (ED&I) Committee have been selected and the first meeting has been scheduled.
The number of partnerships and collaborations to address needs for emerging public health issues continued to grow this quarter.
