Foundations

To achieve clinical and academic excellence, build exceptional teams and offer a patient experience that heals, we need three essential areas of resource and support. These are the foundations of our plan. 

Sustainable Investment 

We’ll wisely use our resources for lasting improvements and growth, ensuring RVH and our regional healthcare system stay strong, effective, and accessible now and in the future.  

Our essential investment in research and advanced medical technologies will make precise, minimally invasive care – the gold standard for complex care – possible. We’ll expand and upgrade our facilities to meet state-of-the-art standards for our rapidly growing community to eliminate hallway medicine and reduce wait times.  

By safeguarding our reputation, we’ll build community trust, attract top talent and partners, and inspire funding – all vital for sustainable, quality care. We’ll make smart choices and adapt our plans as the healthcare landscape changes.  

Health Technology 

Technology is crucial to providing care that’s not just smarter, but also kinder and more efficient. We’ll simplify how everyone – our team, patients, and partners – accesses information and care.  

We’ll continually introduce and upgrade digital tools that improve how we share and use data, ensuring everyone benefits from more connected services. Team RVH will be equipped with advanced medical technologies and systems designed to deliver seamless, integrated care. 

By leveraging advanced analytics and ensuring easy access to crucial information, we’ll make informed decisions a routine part of care while safeguarding personal privacy with strict security protocols. 

Strategic Partnerships 

We’ll continue to forge powerful alliances to meet our patients’ diverse needs and enhance community well-being. As a partner in the Barrie and Area Ontario Health Team, we’ll support regional collaboration to improve the overall health of our region.  

We’ll partner with local organizations to fill gaps in care and help people heal at home as much as possible; we’ll work to each other’s strengths and share resources to reach our common goals. We aim to build a regional system of care that is responsive, resourceful, and united in its mission to nurture a healthier community.
