Follow along on our journey to an integrated health system for Algoma residents! Check out the data below to see how we're achieving our yearly objectives.
Annual Plan + Performance Dashboard

The journey to releasing our first Annual Plan has been the culmination of two years’ work in engaging hundreds of stakeholders, including caregivers, clinicians, and patients, about how we might more effectively plan and deliver services in Algoma.
This plan is our commitment to the community, not only on what we will be working on, but how we will be working together. We invite you to get involved and continue to hold us accountable for this important work.
