The purpose of this plan is to guide the leadership and management of the Hospice Palliative Care Society over the next three years.  It builds upon and is informed by the 2021 Strategic Plan of the organization with additional insight and priorities as identified by the Board of Directors and Life Members in November 2022.  It covers a three-year period in light of the changes introduced by the opening of the Hospice and the uncertainty of the operating environment as the pandemic wanes but remains a factor of influence.  This plan is intended to be flexible and adaptable to reassessment and adjustment as it is implemented and evaluated. It is intended to involve all directors, Life Members, the staff, Palliative Care Service, and the community in support of the Mission and Vision of the Society. Furthermore, it will require operational plans to bring each strategic direction to concrete actions.  Regular reviews to assess progress and adjust direction will be conducted.
