Moving Upstream - Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit

Strategic Plan
Strategic Plan
The Health Unit strategic plan consists of the following key components: the
Health Unit Identity, Health Goals and Strategies, Accountability Goal and
Strategies, and Organizational Goals and Strategies. These components have
been represented visually into a schema (Figure A). The shape of the schema
emphasizes that the work of the Health Unit is interconnected and fluid. Dashed
lines have been used between the various components to represent the flow
between program, accountability, and organizational goals and strategies.
The schema begins at the top with the community vision, health goals and
key population outcomes of the plan, along with the program strategies that
the Health Unit is mandated to provide in the Ontario Public Health Standards.
The Accountability Goal and Strategies demonstrate a commitment to both
population and performance accountability. Organizational goals provide
focus to achieve organizational excellence. Health Unit values have been placed
around the outside of the schema to unite the program and organizational
components of the plan. The foundational principles are used to guide program
and organizational decision-making and tailor programs to local circumstances.
Each of the key components of the strategic plan will be described in more
detail in the following pages.
Vision without action
is merely a dream.
Action without vision
just passes the time.
Vision with action
can change the world.
