From the Desk of Jean R. Piché It takes vision to build a successful organization and it takes action to move it forward. In 2010, the Sisters, Board of Directors and management expressed their vision for the future of HFH in an action plan that included revitalizing our facility, enhancing the quality of our care and seeking fresh ways to generate revenues. Two years ago, no one knew where we’d be today. Between our strategy sessions and now, we’ve managed to take some big steps toward fulfilling our goals, among them instituting a clinical program approach, enhancing resident-centred care, and working to build a new 160-bed facility. Such is the wisdom of trusting your grand vision and acting on your good intentions. All of our success is a testament not only to the political acumen, advocacy and ability of the Sisters and the Board, but also to the hard work of our staff members who have helped build a reputation of excellence here at HFH. Now, thanks to the Sisters’ visionary initiative to establish the Lubov SSMI Foundation, HFH is entering the next stage of its journey to what we believe will be a position of financial strength. The Foundation, in undertaking a proactive approach to generating revenues and resources, is ensuring that HFH and the SSMI’s other vital ministries will be sustained well into the future. Just over a year ago, Manitoba’s Health Minister Theresa Oswald announced the redevelopment of HFH. Since then, the functional program and a site analysis have been completed with the support of architects and engineers. We’ve engaged a project management firm, which will be working closely with us over the next four to five years ensuring that the Sisters’ and HFH’s interests are promoted and protected through every development phase. As well, in the next couple of months, we’ll be retaining an architectural firm to begin the design process. Stay tuned for more information.
