Clarenville Meeting Held
Eastern Health officials met with community partners today in Clarenville to explain the needs assessment process. We had a good turnout with about 50 people. The presentations started with Michael O'Keefe, Chair, Board of Trustees (his first official function!). Mr. O'Keefe welcomed people to the event and explained the importance of needs assessments. The Vice-President of Planning, Quality and Research, Wayne Miller, spoke about previous needs assessments that Eastern Health completed. Finally, Lisa Browne who will be project managing this initiatve, spoke about the process to be used. Tomorrow, we meet with community partners in Bonavista (9:30 am at Harbour Quarters Inn) and Come-By-Chance (1:30 pm at the Recreation Centre) to spread the word there! More pictures of the launch are on our Facebook site - Discovery Needs Assessment. (Please note you do not need to be a registered Facebook user to access this site).
