Strategy Check-in and 2020-2023 Priorities

As part of our No Boundaries strategy, we committed to complete a mid-point check-in with children, youth, families, students, staff and partners. The check-in recognized that healthcare system transformation is happening rapidly all around us while we continue to see increased volume and complexity in the clients and families we serve. 

As part of the check-in process, we recognized and celebrated our successes to date, examined the current environment and ultimately made choices about our future.
