Following the formation of Southwestern Public Health (SWPH) in May 2018, the Board of Health began a robust strategic planning process involving partners, community members and staff. Bold new vision and mission statements, and a declaration of our organizational values resulted. These statements steer our service provision, shape our decision making and guide the use of our resources.

2019-2024 Strategic Plan
This five-year strategic plan will direct our work until 2024 and provide a road map for allocating resources, developing partnerships, and building an organizational structure that supports the work to be done.
Public health is most effective when it is influenced by the experiences, knowledge and expertise of individual community members, professionals in the community and partner agencies. The contributions of all these groups to our 2019 strategic plan will continue to inspire our work as we move forward with the province’s public health change plans.
2025-2030 Strategic Plan
SWPH is embarking on an exciting journey to develop our 2025 Strategic Plan, and we want you to be part of it. This plan will set our direction for the next five years, helping us address the evolving needs of our community and ensuring a healthier, safer environment for everyone.
