Network Members
The Women and Children’s Health Network membership is continually growing! Our Network is comprised of both 'Partner Organizations' and 'Patient and Family Advisors'. To view the Network's organizational structure flowchart, click here.
Partner Organizations
Network members include representatives from the community, hospital organizations and professional disciplines. We aim to capture the broadest collective voice possible and work towards a collaborative and coordinated approach to health system planning. The members translate the Network's goals and objectives into specific actions to enhance regional integration. The foundational objective of the Network is to enhance the health of birthing families, women, children, and youth in our region.
Network members collaborate to address four provincial priorities:
-
Local Gap Analysis and Planning
-
Executing Improvements to Care
-
Connecting and Coordinating Providers
-
Informing/Providing Input to Provincial Entities
Patient and Family Advisors
Over the last year the Network has quadrupled the number of Patient and Family Advisors informing the Network's work. Patient and Family Advisors directly influence the Network's clinical priorities and advocacy efforts. They also actively participate in all of our committees, working groups, task forces, and the Steering Committee. The Network regularly supports Patient and Family Advisor-led projects and leadership opportunities whenever possible.
