2023-2026 Strategic Plan

About the 2023-2026 Strategic Plan

In 2022, Durham Community Health Centre, initiated a process to develop a three-year strategic plan that would acknowledge the various challenges and opportunities our community members have faced over the last three years. The strategic planning process helped to identify a set of priority areas where proactive and sustained work would generate a significant impact, both internally and within the broader Durham region.

Under the guidance of our Strategy and Vision Committee of the Board, we undertook an inclusive and engaging strategic process that included:

Client focus groups
Board workshops and interviews
Senior Leadership Team workshops and interviews
Management team interviews
Staff focus groups
Key external partner interviews
System leader interviews

In formulating this plan, we wanted to ensure that we actively listened to those who rely on our services, those who deliver our services, those who partner with us to deliver services to the community members, and those who have foresight into what our health and social services system needs are for today and for tomorrow.

This strategic plan recognizes the pace of change is rapidly accelerating in the current landscape. From an Ontario perspective, for example, the emphasis on integrated care
and support has been amplified to address gaps and improve health outcomes for our residents. Our strategic plan will help us to remain grounded in community as we seek out innovative and creative practices and partnership opportunities that will allow us to respond to the needs and challenges of our community members.
