VISION 2026

A Pledge from Our Leaders

While simultaneously fighting the impacts of COVID-19, our progressive teams at St. Mary’s General Hospital have been planning with our community to chart a course for our future. It has galvanized our resolve to build on the compassion and excellence that defines St. Mary’s, and grow stronger and healthier together within our organization and with our rapidly expanding, diverse and innovative community.

With this backdrop, we are excited to introduce St. Mary’s Strategic Plan, a vision for the next 5-7 years, with two-year objectives to propel us forward. We thank all who helped shape it – our staff, physicians, patients and families, local partners within and outside healthcare, and the broader community. Their input helped us develop a new Mission, a new set of Values and a new Vision:

Inspiring Excellence. Healthier Together.

As we implement this strategic plan, we will gauge progress and adjust to meet new challenges. We will enhance our role as providers of regional programs, and within a broader health system.

Together with our regional partner hospitals, St. Mary’s will accelerate collaboration with our region’s post-secondary institutions and with Communitech, an innovation hub that supports local companies, some of which have a significant interest in advancing excellence in health care. Together we will consider the future of health care through these innovations and learnings.

Five strategic priorities will guide our actions:

1. expand equitable access to high quality

2. empowered care

3. transform connected care with our partners and community

4. develop our team of today and the future

5. embrace new ways to innovate healthcare; and build for growth

All of this will bring focus to the diverse community we serve and ensure equity in care. Please join us as we evolve to serve you better
