Environmental Scan

As HSN and HSNRI embark on their strategic plan for 2025-2030, we are looking to improve in areas that matter to the people who work, learn, research and receive care at our facilities.

Through preliminary consultation sessions with nearly 200 internal stakeholders and Patient and Family Advisor Council members, themes have started to emerge as areas for consideration.

Steering Committee

The 30-member Steering Committee includes HSN and HSNRI staff, medical staff, healthcare and academic stakeholders, Patient and Family Advisory Committee members, members from our Foundations, as well as the Chief of Staff, the Board Chair, the Board Vice Chair, the Strategic Plan Special Advisor, and the President and CEO of HSN and HSNRI.
