Goals
Four health goals have been identified within the 2013-2018 Strategic Plan, and
they will provide direction for all program work done within the Health Unit. The
goals are:
1. Healthy Baby/Child/Youth Growth and Development.
2. Healthy Living for all Residents.
3. Health Equity within the Population.
4. Healthy Environments.
The goals are interconnected and mutually dependent. Children with healthy
development are more likely to make choices for healthy living. Healthy
environments support healthy living choices and healthy child development
and improve health equity, so that there is less disparity within the population.
More residents having access to good housing, adequate income and clothing,
healthy food, and recreation opportunities will contribute to healthy child
development and healthy living. For each goal, specific population outcomes
have been identified which will be the focus for Health Unit programs and
services.
