About Our LHIN
The aim of the Champlain LHIN is to help coordinate health services so that people receive the care they need and deserve in a timely way.
The LHIN does not provide services directly. Rather, our mandate is to ensure the services are well organized, appropriately funded and meet the needs of residents of all ages. The Champlain LHIN plans, coordinates and funds health services in the following health sectors:
Hospitals
Community Care Access Centre (CCAC or home care)
Addictions and Mental Health Agencies
Community Support Services (such as Meals on Wheels)
Community Health Centres (CHCs)
Long-term Care Homes
Vision
Healthy, caring communities supported by health services of choice that achieve results – today and for the future.
Mission
To build a coordinated, integrated, and accountable health system for people where and when they need it. Our mission is based on a strong foundation of local community engagement, comprehensive planning, and appropriate resource allocation.
Values
Integrity
Respect
Innovation
Transparency
Accountability
The six strategic directions in our three-year plan (2007 to 2010) are :
E-health (i.e. an electronic health record)
We will accomplish our goals by setting up a new planning architecture. This new architecture has two main prongs:
Communities of care: The region will be broken up into six planning areas to better meet local needs.
Communities of practice: health networks that deal with specific health issues, such as newborn health and stroke prevention and rehabilitation.
Most important is our ongoing commitment in engaging communities on health-care priorities, challenges and potential solutions. Listening to patients, clients, families, and workers will help us achieve a better health system.
