Dave Hardy introduced our guest speaker. Elizabeth Buller President and CEO of the Scarborough Health Network (SHN)
Elizabeth has been with SHN since 2017 Some highlights from her presentation were:
3,700 Covid Patients were treated. 21% in ICU. 445,000 tests completed. 748,000 vaccines were given. 82% of Scarborough residents are fully vaccinated. There are only 17 patients in hospital with Covid today and about 5 in ICU. There are four strategic directions: (i) build culture to empower and inspire people, (ii) improve population health, health equity, and system integration, (iii) transform the patient experience through innovation, education, and research, (iv) set a new standard for exceptional quality and patient safety. They have been able to increase virtual care such as follow-ups after surgery and mental health consultations. In their planning, they want to improve the quality of care and standardize patient experience across all sites. Address increasing demand for their services. SHN has submitted a plan to the Ministry of Health for future facilities to take them 20 years and beyond. Elizabeth also mentioned the ‘Love Scarborough’ campaign with a goal of fundraising $100m.
