Hospital’s commitments for next five years embrace investment and innovation in the face of significant, system-wide challenges
Peterborough, ON – Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC) is pleased to announce the launch of our 2024-2029 Strategic Plan.
With a focus on supporting and enabling growth, innovation, people, technology and data to improve the care we provide at PRHC, the new strategic plan sets out ambitious goals for the next five years.
“Our strategic plan reflects the inspiration, talent, and willingness of our people to pursue great things and work toward a bright future for PRHC and the patients and families we serve,” says Dr. Lynn Mikula, President & CEO. “It also acknowledges the realities we are working within today, including higher patient volumes and acuity, and financial and health human resource pressures. Continued investment by the provincial government and the support of generous donors through the PRHC Foundation will be critical as we pursue the commitments outlined in our strategic plan.”
These commitments include providing timely and excellent care, being a workplace where people can thrive, expanding tertiary services to support our region, transforming data and analytics to support people today and into the future, and building the hospital’s teaching and research focus.
“PRHC is at a pivotal point in its evolution, poised and ready to achieve great things,” says Dr. Mikula. “The commitments we have set out in our strategic plan are key steps in our journey as a provider of acute, tertiary care services for a region that is rapidly growing and expanding, and I’m excited to move this work forward. I want to thank everyone – our staff, physicians and volunteers, our partners, patients and families – for their insights as we’ve worked together over the last year to develop our plans for the future.”
“The Board of Directors is thrilled to see PRHC’s new strategic plan launched after many months of consultation, planning and hard work across the organization,” says Robert Gibson, Chair, PRHC Board of Directors. “We have every confidence in Dr. Mikula and the team at PRHC as we move forward together into this new era of acute healthcare in our community and region.”
PRHC’s 2024-2029 Strategic Plan also outlines a new purpose statement and five values to guide and reflect the work of the organization and its people:
