Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital Strategic Plan 2017 — 2022
Recognizing the impact of COVID-19 pandemic we have extended the No Boundaries strategic plan into a sixth year ending in March 2023.
"We want for our children what every parent wants – for our son to grow up to be an adult who has a community, a sense of purpose, and to be loved."
- Parent
To reach this guiding vision, Holland Bloorview’s strategy for the next five years is to focus on three high impact areas – discover for action, personalize pathways and connect the system.
In all of these areas, Holland Bloorview will take an integrated approach to research, teaching and care.
We will drive all of our work by leading and modeling social change; mobilizing people and teams; co-creating with children, youth, families and alumni; and evolving client-centred quality and safety.

Holland Bloorview’s research, teaching, technology development and innovation will be driven by a no boundaries philosophy. Children, youth and families will be involved in developing, testing and sharing new ideas that have the most meaning to them.
Ultimately, people will have better access to the most advanced, proven care, ideas and treatment. We will inform public policy to create change that helps children and families.
People will feel more connected to how knowledge is developed and spread and we will have smarter delivery of services. People across the world will use Holland Bloorview’s innovations and knowledge for better outcomes and experiences for children and families across their lifespans.

From the earliest age, children, youth and families will be supported in planning for their futures. Every child, youth and family will have an individualized portfolio of care and services that meet their unique needs.
This pathway will be developed through a variety of sources: evidence and knowledge; client and family need; and client and family choice.

Our environment, culture and infrastructure will foster collaboration and excellence in all we do and deepen strengths-based, compassionate care.
Everyone connected to Holland Bloorview will be mobilized to innovate; seek new knowledge; improve care and service; advance equity, diversity and inclusion; and rally support and philanthropy for our work.
All priorities for care, research, learning and resource development will be shaped and informed by the full integration of children, youth and families into all of our work.
We will enhance access, capacity and availability of meaningful support for children, youth and families through a comprehensive, supported peer network.
We will strive for the highest quality care and safety in everything we do – our quality and safety measures will reflect what children, youth and families truly value.
