RVH recently announced a new 10-year strategic plan which has been carefully curated to ensure staff and the larger community feel connected, equipped, and excited long term. \u201cWith the population growth in this area of the province, what do we need to be able to meet the needs of the future, meet the patient expectations, and have the team members here be able to fill all the roles\u201d, says Gail when explaining one of the main priorities with their new strategic plan. On our newest episode of Healthcare Change Makers, learn more about how RVH\u2019s leadership will keep the momentum going with their strategic plan, ways in which Gail ensures she is approachable to staff, how to balance being an introvert in leadership, and much more! Also, stay tuned until the end to hear about Gail\u2019s love for Jiu Jitsu! Quotables: \u201cThe relationship with medical schools really helps ensure you have that feeder system coming in that\u2019s going to help you, make sure you have the specialists and physicians that you need as you grow.\u201d - GH \u201cRVH does so much research right now, we have an amazing team here and we run the largest clinical trials for community-sized hospitals.\u201d - GH \u201cWe mapped out what some of our big moves are, and everything we do now ties back to asking where is it taking us? Where is that big move? So, the team here can feel connected.\u201d - GH \u201cWe felt we needed to embed our values in actions that people can relate to. Do great things, inspire trust, be kind, the things we could imagine ourselves doing and that\u2019s how we make our choices.\u201d - GH \u201cReally connecting with a couple layers away from you on a regular basis gives you that feedback about if the culture is building in the direction I\u2019m aiming for and what my expectations are, do people feel they can speak up about things, do they feel connected to the vision?\u201d - GH \u201cWhether you\u2019re introverted or extroverted you bring your own strengths and gifts to every role you\u2019re in. Instead of trying to be something you\u2019re not, own what you are and let the team know that\u2019s what you\u2019re like and where they have to help lift you up.\u201d - GH \u201cI have certain underlying values about really supporting other organizations in the community. A lot of times hospitals are the big player in the community and fundraising, and the smaller agencies in the community have a harder struggle raising money.\u201d - GH Mentioned in this Episode: Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH) RVH Foundation Pamela Ross Telus Friendly Future Foundation Dancing with Easter Seals Stars Adam Grant Access More Interviews with Healthcare Leaders at HIROC.com\/podcast Follow us on LinkedIn, Instagram, and X, and listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your favourite podcasts.
