A Message from HSN Leadership
HSN’s strategic plan, Together for You 2030, will guide us as we continue to serve the healthcare needs of Northeastern Ontario. This plan reflects the voices of over 2,800 people including healthcare professionals, researchers, learners, patients, families, volunteers, donors, community and regional partners. The guidance of our Strategic Plan Steering Committee helped shape our plan. We are thankful for everyone’s valuable input.
HSN is more that just a hospital. We are an academic health sciences centre and research institute, a trusted community partner and critical resource to 23 community hospitals in Northeastern Ontario. As you read this plan, it is important to highlight that the use of term “HSN” is inclusive of Health Sciences North, the Health Sciences North Research Institute, HSN Foundation and HSN Volunteer Association.
Together for You 2030, focuses on reducing strain on the hospital through partnerships. Together, we aim to ensure patients and families receive seamless, timely care closer to home in state-of-the-art facilities, fostering a culture where research and education thrive.
Our plan sets a clear path forward, focusing on 5 key goals and 18 outcomes: delivering quality people-centred care; empowering human potential; advancing equity through social accountability; achieving healthcare excellence in education and research; and strengthening organizational sustainability. These priorities will help us build a dynamic healthcare system that meets the evolving needs of the communities we serve, while fostering innovation, collaboration, and growth.
Our vision of “A Healthier North” drives us to take meaningful action to improve population health, close equity gaps, and enhance the well-being of the people and communities we serve. Achieving this vision requires collaborative partnerships, innovative healthcare solutions, and targeted initiatives that address the unique challenges of our region. Guided by our core values of respect, compassion, quality, transparency, and accountability, we focus on delivering measurable outcomes that make a real difference in the lives of Northeastern Ontario residents.
Together for You 2030 is a living strategic plan, designed to adapt and remain relevant in a changing healthcare landscape.
The collective strength of Team HSN —our employees and medical staff, learners, volunteers, research institute, foundation and board of directors—supported by valued community, regional and academic partners, funders and donors will allow us to achieve this plan.
Your voice shaped this vision. Together we will achieve it.
