Looking to 2025
The Northern Health Strategic Plan helps guide what we prioritize to focus on as an organization, as the priorities outlined within the plan will only be successful with our collective focus and effort towards their achievement.
Mission 
Through the efforts of dedicated staff and medical staff, in partnership with communities, organizations, and Indigenous peoples, we provide exceptional health services for Northerners.
Vision 
Northern Health leads the way in promoting health and providing health services for Northern, rural, and Indigenous populations.
What if we could:
- Collaborate with partners to support people in the North to be well and stay independent?
- Create a health system built on person-centred care and cultural safety?
- Provide an environment that embraces diversity and a sense of belonging for all?
- Be the first place people look for rewarding careers with opportunities for growth?
- Use technology and innovation to provide access to services closer to home?
