Message From the CEO

---

As we patiently wait for the warmer, sunnier weather I am excited to share that SCHC Board of Directors approved our new Strategic Plan that will guide our work into 2022.  The proposed changes to the health care system is constantly in the news.  We feel that SCHC is well positioned to support those changes and that work, as it was informed by wide-ranging consultation with staff, volunteers, partners, funders and our community at large, in other words, many of you!

SCHC stays true to our mission to meeting the diverse, holistic health needs of the communities of Scarborough by addressing the physical, mental, social, financial and environmental aspects of their health.  Through the promotion of healthy lifestyles and the delivery of a comprehensive range of culturally competent health and social services, we cultivate vital and connected communities.

Our focus is three key areas:

1. Evolving an integrated mental health and addictions focus;
2. Evolving our community and health system connections;
   
3. Evolving our organizational health and well being.

​
By focusing on the three we will:

• Improve access to mental health and addictions services;
• Improve mental health and well-being among clients;
• Improve health system connections and navigation for clients;
  
• Diversify and increase our funding / resource base;
  
• Become a top 100 employer in Toronto;
  
• Improve our brand recognition and value.
