Table of Partners

The work of the Strathcona Community Health Network is directed by a cross-sectoral group called the Table of Partners.

The Table of Partners provides a mechanism to engage, mobilize and leverage action beyond what one community, organization or individual can achieve alone. It helps drive the direction for action taken by the Health Network.

The role of the Table is to realise the vision of the Health Network as defined by the people who live and work within the region by making decisions and being accountable for the network outcomes. The Table of Partners will represent and validate their understanding of what makes people healthy living within the region, while providing a culturally safe space for people and their communities to participate.

The Table operate under a Terms of Reference and hold meetings on the third Thursday of each month, which are open to the public.
