A sneak peek at the agenda
In addition to the clinical and systems transformation initiative, here are a few topics you’ll have a chance to learn about:
- Dr. Jat Sandhu, regional director of public health surveillance, will talk about My Health My Community, an online tool that will give participants an opportunity to learn how their lifestyle, interaction within their community and their physical environment affects their health. And in turn, the data will be used for health and wellness planning.

About the True North Forums
The forums focus on the VCH True North goals that all of us – senior leaders, managers, physicians and staff – have in common. We might be working on different projects and using different strategies, but these goals are the desired end result. Join your colleagues to learn more about what’s happening across the health authority.
