  In
December of 2010, Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences
Centre embarked on a new Strategic Planning process
anchored in engagement. This new Strategic
Plan provides guidance to TBRHSC as a leading academic
health sciences centre through 2015.
The Values that drive TBRHSC have been carefully chosen.
They are embedded in our Patient and Family Centred
Model of Care and integrated into our culture.
Patient and Family Centred Care is respectful of, and
responsive to, individual patient/family preferences,
needs and values, and ensures that patient values guide
all clinical decisions. It is the foundation upon which
our Strategic Plan is built. Patients and Families have
not only been involved in the development of this Plan,
they will figure prominently in its successful implementation.
 This
Plan reflects our commitment to engage our community
and partners. Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre
applied a robust Engagement
Process with our Five Partners in Health: community
members, health managers, policy makers, health professionals
and academic institutions. Through measured examination
of the environment and health status of the residents
of Northwestern Ontario, a review of our past successes,
and this broad partner engagement, TBRHSC developed
Strategic
Plan 2015, that will lead to the achievement of
our Vision: Healthy Together.
To achieve this Vision, we will focus on the needs
of the population that we serve. With the patient and
families at the centre of everything we do, we will
focus our efforts on Aboriginal Health, Chronic Disease
Prevention and Management, Comprehensive Clinical Services
and Mental Health and Addictions.
Comprehensive Clinical
Services
We will partner to deliver comprehensive secondary
and tertiary services to provide evidence-based care
that is focused on quality and patient safety for the
people of Northwestern Ontario.
Aboriginal Health
Our journey towards excellence in Aboriginal Healthcare
delivery begins with improving our physical and cultural
environments to reflect the expressed values, practices
and traditions of Aboriginal communities.
Chronic Disease Prevention and Management
In collaboration with our partners, we will provide
an evidence-based system-wide approach to Chronic Disease
Prevention and Management that reduces the impact of
disease.
Mental Health and Addictions
We will collaborate to create a more compassionate,
knowledgeable, safe and connected system to improve
the overall health and quality of life for people living
with mental illness and/or addictions.
Our next four years will be exciting for a lot of reasons.
Leading-edge patient care comes from the integration
of excellent Clinical Services, Learning and Research.
We will continue to build on agreements and partnerships
through engagement. In shaping our future, we will become
Healthy Together.
