At Halton Healthcare you will thrive in a healthcare culture and environment that embraces inclusion, diversity and belonging with ‘exemplary patient care, always’ at the heart of everything we do.

We empower our people to be the very best they can be so they can make a difference for our patients and the communities we serve.

Halton Healthcare takes great pride in providing quality, compassionate healthcare services to our rapidly growing communities. As a progressive and vibrant healthcare organization, we are committed to being an innovative center of excellence in community hospital care.

The communities Halton Healthcare serves are rapidly growing and changing. To prepare for accelerated growth, we are planning and innovating for the future. This means evolving and rethinking how we deliver care, where we deliver care and how we position and support the teams and people who deliver this critical work. We have a bold vision called **_One Halton Healthcare_**, which is a more coordinated and integrated approach to our planning.

We are committed to delivering a truly integrated system and experience across our three hospitals and nine community sites to deliver seamless care to patients and their families.

Through a Clinical Service Plan already underway, we are focusing on **Our Care**. We are examining all of the services we provide across our hospitals and community programs, and in collaboration with our partners, so our growing and changing community has access to the care it needs, where it’s needed, into the future.

Through a Clinical Program Structure Review, we will focus on **Our People**. We will examine staffing and leadership across our organization, so we have the people and the right organizational structure in place to provide the best care and services for our growing patient population.

Through a Corporate Master Plan launching soon, we will focus on **Our Places**. We will take stock of our buildings and properties across all sites to develop a roadmap to serve our growing population, including through expansion, redevelopment, and partnerships.
