SCHN Hires New Coordinator And Is Actively Seeking New Members

After a brief hiatus during COVID-19, the Strathcona Regional District has hired a new Coordinator, tasked to bring in new Table of Partners members, and reinvigorate the Strathcona Community Health Network.

“The SRD is pleased to have filled the coordinator role and be in a position to bring on additional support at the table level to move forward the many initiatives addressing the social determinants of health within the region,” says Aniko Nelson, SRD Senior Manager, Community Services.

“We are hopeful that we will receive interest from a wide spectrum of individuals throughout the SRD that can lend their experience and passion to improve the overall health of our residents”.

Developed in 2015, the Health Network looks to collaborate and intervene on issues impacting health and wellness.

Its main focus is to address the social determinants of health at a systems level with eight priority areas including: network development, First Nations and cultural safety, healthy children, food security, housing, ageing & caregiver support, and connectivity.

From now until June 15, 2023, community members throughout the Strathcona Region are invited to apply for a seat at the Table of Partners. 

The role of the Table of Partners is to ensure diverse regional voices are represented and heard. 

The group meets monthly to engage, mobilize and leverage action beyond what one organization or individual cannot achieve alone and they will lead the Network “by determining a way forward through Strategic Planning and working together cooperatively to make best use of the human and financial resources available.”
