Quarterly Report to Our Communities on Horizon’s Strategic Plan

TRANSFORMING HEALTH CARE THROUGH INNOVATION

Quality and safe people-centred care is at the foundation of all we do, and innovation plays a key role in strengthening that commitment.  

For Horizon, innovation is not about chasing novelty; it’s about building long-term, sustainable system readiness, so our patients receive the right care at the right time.  

One of our most significant achievements has been in primary care. Since launching our primary care strategy, we have established 10 Family Health Teams, and 10,785 New Brunswickers have now been attached to these multidisciplinary teams, exceeding our Year-1 goal ahead of schedule. More progress is coming as this momentum continues.  

Our commitment to innovation is part of the reason why Horizon has been named one of Atlantic Canada’s Top Employers for the third consecutive year — an accomplishment made possible because of our dedicated team of staff and physicians. 

While we have lots to celebrate, we are also confronting ongoing pressures tied to persistently high hospital occupancy. When beds are filled by patients awaiting more appropriate placements, the entire system slows.  

We are taking every action within our control, but lasting solutions will require coordinated efforts across the broader health care and community sectors.
