What is CHEO's roadmap for the next five years?
Most big organizations have a Strategy — sometimes called a Strategic Plan — and CHEO is no exception!
It is a roadmap that helps us all work together towards the same destination, by agreeing on where we’re going and how we plan to get there. CHEO’s Strategy is updated every five years to reflect changing priorities and needs.
Each year we set targets or metrics to help us reach all the big, ambitious goals we've identified, and we regularly track how we’re measuring against them.
At CHEO, we have been helping children and youth reach their best lives for half a century.
We started as a hospital in 1974 and we've since grown to become a leading pediatric health system that serves one of the largest regions in the country — with more growth on the horizon!
Our role is to deliver seamless pediatric care when, where and how children, youth and families need us, provide the care and support they require, and to do so with one outcome in mind: best life.
Find out how we plan to grow over the next five years, to help children and youth reach their best life.
Our guiding principles:
1. You matter – At CHEO, we are here to support the care and life goals that matter most to you, your parents/caregivers and family.
2. We make it easier to get what you need – We work hard to help you access care, tools and resources to meet your needs in tandem with our many partners.
3. We use evidence to inform everything we do – Every day and everything we do is informed by evidence and new knowledge as we constantly look to improve and reach better outcomes.
