Strategic Directions:

The City of Kawartha Lakes Family Health Team’s strategic plan has set the foundation for a clear and focused future, uniting the organization under a common purpose and strategy. Our strategy is shaped by our strategic directions, which provide clear focus and direction while allowing us to respond and adapt as circumstances evolve over the next three years. Our strategic directions for 2023 to 2026 are ;

One Team Culture – We understand the importance of a cohesive, collaborative team in supporting responsive care. Our aim is to create a healthy workplace culture that motivates staff and appeals to new talent. We want everyone to know that there is a team behind them when they access care and to ensure the processes, infrastructure, and systems are in place to support effective communications, coordination, and relationship-building between physicians and allied health staff.

Access and Service Delivery – With a focus on increasing access to care, we will collaborate with our networks and be flexible and intentional with our strategies and resources to ensure we are receptive to community needs. Leaning into the passions and interests of our team, we will continue to develop our skills and knowledge. We will remain accountable to our patients, community, and funders throughout all we do, constantly working to increase equity, consistency, and quality.

Community Collaboration – We acknowledge that the needs of the community are bigger than our organization. We will help mobilize positive change across the City of Kawartha Lakes and beyond by focusing on collaboration and building trusting relationships with our partners. We aim to further explore partnership opportunities in ways that strengthen primary care and increase impact and access. We will be data-driven, making informed decisions to offer responsive services that complement those of our partners.
