The annual report was prepared under the Board's direction in accordance with the Regional Health Authorities Act and directions provided by the Minister of Health. All material, economic and fiscal implications known as of March 31, 2015 have been considered in preparing this annual report. This report reviews the actions and initiatives of Prairie Mountain Health from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015. As with all health care organizations, the years ahead will continue to present many challenges. However, with the assistance of our staff, our community partners and of course, Manitoba Health, Healthy Living and Seniors, we will continue to strive to meet the Vision and Mission we have articulated. In April 2012, three health regions (Assiniboine, Brandon and Parkland) were merged to form our new health region. While we have made great strides since then, transitioning continues to be challenging and a significant amount of work. However, amalgamation has allowed us to use the strengths of the three previous regions to build capacity and ultimately improve the quality of service in many areas. We acknowledge our staff, management, and physicians across Prairie Mountain Health who have embraced and forged ahead with the opportunities that amalgamation afforded. Through a collective effort with our partners, employees and physicians, much progress has been made toward ensuring that the highest quality care is accessible to our residents. We would like once again to acknowledge the Board of Directors and the Executive Management Team for their shared leadership over the past year. To all staff, thank you for your contribution each and every day to making sure the best possible care and service is delivered. To our community stakeholders, we express gratitude for working with us, challenging us and keeping us motivated to do the best job possible. Respectfully submitted, Marg MacDonald Penny Gilson Board Chair Chief Executive Officer Board of Directors 1 Executive Team message he Executive Management Team of Prairie Mountain T Health (PMH) is both honoured and proud to report back on the fiscal year of 2014/2015. Now, in our third year as a more coordinated and comprehensive health region, we continue to make huge strides in streamlining and enhancing our organization. As we reflect back on the fiscal year, it becomes even more evident that our earlier efforts to incorporate the strengths of three former regions into one are continuing to produce results. We know there is more work that lies ahead but we are excited about the possibilities and the future of our health region.
