Lakeridge Health 2024/25 Annual Business Plan

Lakeridge Health continues to grow, evolve, and plan for a healthier future for all. Building on a strong foundation, we remain focused on creating a more connected, sustainable, and inclusive health system – one that meets the needs of our communities today while preparing for tomorrow’s challenges and opportunities. 

Our 2025/2026 Annual Business Plan sharpens our focus on four key areas: safety, access, people, and financial health. It integrates three important components that guide our work: 

  • Annual Priorities – Driving improvements in care and workplace culture. 

  • Corporate Scorecard – Measuring progress and accountability. 

  • Big Rock Initiatives – Advancing transformational projects with long-term impact. 

Together, these elements align with our current Strategic Plan and lay the groundwork for our next, that will be launched in April 2026. We look forward to continuing this journey with our staff, physicians, volunteers, partners, and community.
