David McNeil, RNAO past-president and president of the Brant Community Healthcare System (BCHS), is leading a new committee he hopes will create 
a revitalized vision for the organization. “Our goal is to co-create a strategic plan with the community,” says McNeil. This work “…will guide us towards 2025 to ensure we are meeting the needs of a diverse community, staff, physicians and volunteers,” he adds. Participants include Brantford’s mayor, nursing students, professors from McMaster University, and staff at BCHS, including its chief nurse executive Wendy Pomponio. The committee first met in May and will continue to meet throughout the year. The goal is to announce a plan in February or March of 2020. A website (ourbchs.ca) provides information about community meetings and allows the public to provide input. (Brantford Expositor, May 8)
