Our New Name: Humber River Health
We are excited to share with you our 2023–2026 Strategic Plan, as well as announce our new name, Humber River Health.
Our New Name: Humber River Health
During the strategic planning consultation, it became apparent that Humber River Health has become much more than a hospital and to reflect the growth into a truly integrated health system in our community, we have changed our name to Humber River Health. This name brings together Humber River Health, the Finch Campus, the Church Campus, our Research Institute, and the Schulich Family Medicine Teaching Unit. It also reflects our growing role in our North Western Toronto Ontario Health Team and the shared Health Hub set to open at the Finch Campus.
Humber River Health will operate as one corporation with one board, one management team, and one medical staff.
Moving forward as Humber River Health, we are focused on building additional community based programs and developing new strategies for delivering integrated care. Our new name encompasses our evolving identity, expands how we approach innovation, and will guide us into the future.
Strategic Plan
The development of our Strategic Plan was guided by an extensive stakeholder engagement strategy, including, working sessions, surveys, interviews, focus groups, and touchpoints. We also undertook various analyses to better understand health trends in our community and the context in which we operate, including public perception, population health and demographic data, employee engagement, and patient experience. The voices of more than 900 staff, physicians, volunteers, patients, community members, and partners we engaged are reflected in this plan.
Looking ahead over the next three years, we will be guided by four strategic directions:
- Embrace equity, diversity and inclusion;
- Advance the empowerment of our people and patients;
- Deliver comprehensive, quality care closer to home; and
- Foster innovation, research and academics.
Our 2023-2026 Strategic Plan outlines how we are taking our new vision of Lighting New Ways in Healthcare and making it a reality. This Strategic Plan is also guided by our mission and values, with strategic directions outlining what we will do and strategic objectives explaining how we will do it.
