June 23, Chatham-Kent Health Alliance (CKHA) announced a new vision statement:
An Exceptional Community Hospital
Setting Standards – Exceeding Expectations
Some of you might wonder how CKHA came up with that and what it means.
Creating a new Vision Statement involves a lot of people, thought and discussion. It was a collaborative process, over 150 groups were interviewed and engaged; over 300 voices were heard. It involved internal engagement, community input and discussion. What we learned was the Vision Statement should be something that was clear and demonstrates to our community, our patients and our staff how we envision CKHA’s future.
This Vision Statement was a key outcome of the Alliance’s Strategic Planning process. The 2011-2013 Strategic Plan and Vision Statement was approved by the Tri-Board and sets a course for the future. There is great emphasis on patient and family-centred care and we want to emphasize safe and quality care.
So what does it mean? It means CKHA aims to provide exceptional care, to attract and retain exceptional talent, to develop exceptional ideas and to be a hospital with ongoing exceptional performance. In the months and years ahead, staff, physicians and volunteers will be working towards the newly adopted strategic goals and directions to exemplify the new Vision.
It means CKHA wants to be an exceptional community hospital, and I for one am excited to see how CKHA embraces this new Vision Statement.
