Strategic Plan

A Message from the Collaborative Committee

As the CCHOHT, we are committed to our purpose of connecting care within our communities of Halton Hills, Milton, and Oakville. Since 2019, we have been working together to understand, plan, and coordinate the delivery of excellent health and community care in collaboration with the patients, clients, families, and caregivers who live here. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we are proud of what we accomplished to keep our community healthy and to show ourselves and others how united we are. We have learned a great deal over the past few years and the time has come to set our priorities for the future.

This document is our first strategic plan and it sets our direction together for the next few years. Development of this foundational document included the engagement of over 200 community members, including the voices of patients, clients, families, caregivers, physicians, specialists, healthcare system leadership, and providers. We recognize that we are early on our engagement journey, yet are excited about our new purpose statement, “Connecting Care,” which highlights our role as a team that coordinates and integrates care across our communities together to achieve better population health outcomes for our three communities: Halton Hills, Milton, and Oakville.

To fully live our purpose, we have developed a set of strategic directions that outline our focus as an Ontario Health Team (OHT) over the next few years. Within each strategic direction are activities we will undertake to achieve our overall purpose, vision, and mission. We recognize the important role that our patients, clients, families, caregivers, staff, physicians, volunteers, providers, and others play in achieving our vision of healthier communities in Halton Hills, Milton, and Oakville. We are excited to continue our efforts to connect care and look forward to sharing our progress and success as we embark on this new path.
