The Strategic Planning process for Health Sciences North and the Health Sciences North Research Institute, included four phases – Discovery Phase, Review & Synthesize Phase, Validation Phase and Approval Phase.
The consultation was broader than ever before. More than 3,100 patients, employees, medical staff, learners, volunteers, foundations, community partners, as well as staff from partner hospitals across the region, all offered their thoughts on what the future of health care should look like in Northeastern Ontario. Engagement sessions were held online and in numerous communities across Northeastern Ontario.
There was also a specific interest in hearing from people that were not always consulted in healthcare planning including frail seniors, mental health patients, members of the LGBTQ2S community, injection drug users and HIV patients, and service care providers that work with high-risk youth.

Collaboration Circle
This “Collaboration Circle” represents the collective, open and iterative process of the Strategic Plan.
The five “individuals” that make up the circle highlight HSN’s blue and orange branding, and HSNRI’s blue and red branding. The blue icons signify collaboration between HSN’s and HSNRI’s clinical, academic and research partners.
Finally, the five individuals also represent the final outcome – five key goals, which was identified through the Strategic Planning process.
