  • Portrait of an Academic Hospital the French Version of the Community Report Is Available at Rapportannuel.Hopitalmontfort.Com
    MONTFORT 101: Portrait of an Academic Hospital The french version of the community report is available at rapportannuel.hopitalmontfort.com Hôpital Montfort June 2016 Message from the leadership team The year 2015-2016 was a turning point in Montfort’s evolution as an academic hospital. Intense reflection, nourished by the experiences and accomplishments of our 2011-2015 strategic plan led to the development of a new strategy. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that we present you with the Hôpital Montfort 2016-2021 Strategy: Mission Hôpital Montfort is Ontario’s Francophone Academic Hospital, offering exemplary person-centred care. Vision Your hospital of reference for outstanding services, designed with and for you. Values Our daily actions are guided by compassion, excellence, respect, accountability and mutual support. Our 2016–2021 strategy is based on four major objectives. Over the next five years, through the work of the entire Montfort Team, these objectives will translate into results with a positive impact on our community. Our objectives are: • To enhance targeted clinical services • To become a clinical centre of excellence in multimorbidity • To achieve the attributes of an academic hospital • To fulfill our provincial mandate Our new mission and its accompanying strategy will expand Montfort’s role as an academic hospital. This designation was conferred in June 2013, and the impact of this new status is felt each day with growing intensity. We are often asked: What does it change for Montfort to be an academic hospital? The answer is simple: an academic hospital stands out for the exemplary care it offers its patients, thepractical teaching it provides for the next generation of healthcare professionals, and the research it conducts to advance knowledge in health and medicine.
