Strategic Plan

Over the course of several months in 2003, the Mental Health Centre Penetanguishene undertook a collaborative planning and visioning process to develop strategic directions to guide the operations of the hospital for the next several years.

The staff and clients of the hospital were broadly represented by the membership of the strategic visioning task group. The planning process was designed to ensure consultation with our internal and external stakeholders at several key points.

A survey was sent to our external partners asking for input on our performance and requesting comments and suggestions to assist us in the development of this plan. The response to the survey was excellent. The information was incorporated into the strategic plan and shared with the staff and clients of the hospital for follow-up with their individual stakeholders.

The external partners were sent the draft strategic directions for additional comments and these were included in our final plan. Individual planning team members provided information to the internal stakeholders throughout the planning process and their comments and suggestions were included in the plan.

The annual operational plans of all teams, services and departments will be based on our new strategic directions. Our planning process resulted in an electronic format for these plans that will enhance our ability to share our goals hospital wide and provide ongoing documentation of outcomes. This integration and sharing of information will provide enhanced support for individual program and department goals and will provide comprehensive information for review at regular intervals throughout the duration of the plan.

The Mental Health Centre Penetanguishene thanks our staff, clients and community partners for their input into this plan and we look forward to working with you as we focus on the achievement of these strategic directions.
