Our Strategic Plan

To achieve our mission, the Gabriola Health Care Foundation employs the following Strategic Priorities:

Advocating for a health system on Gabriola that meets the needs of the community

As the healthcare landscape changes, we need to be able to define what the ideal health care system looks like for Gabriola and to be present at the right decision-making tables. The Foundation will participate in existing and new government and health authority partnership initiatives locally, regionally and provincially.

Convening and collaborating with our government and community partners

Providing access to needed primary healthcare services is challenging. The environment in which we work is also complex with many community partners and multiple layers of government. The Foundation will address this challenge by developing strong, respectful, and collaborative relationships with organizations and individuals who can help us achieve our objectives.

Ensuring access to primary and urgent/emergency stabilization care facilities and services

All communities, including Gabriola, face financial challenges in providing access to needed primary care facilities, including recruitment of physicians and staff. The Foundation will take action to understand these challenges and seek funding and partnership opportunities that can help us sustain our community health centre and address the future needs of our community.

Knowing, representing and acting on the community’s health and wellbeing needs

The needs of our community are changing due to such factors as our aging population, the impacts of climate change, lack of affordable housing and the toxic drug crisis. The Foundation’s job is to represent the needs of our community with key influencers locally, regionally, and provincially.

Striving for Organizational and Operational Excellence

In this time of rapid change in the health care landscape, it is critical that we do the best we can with the resources we have available. Professionalism, accountability, and good governance are essential.
