Contact Community Engagement & Communications

CEC has positioned its support services with a focus on proactive, strategic communications for the advancement of key health system priorities.

Our support and intake model is now aligned with SHA Roadmap initiatives as priority focus, with the goal to better support you, as leaders, on our organization’s transformational journey.

Accessing CEC support for Non-Roadmap

We ask that requests for Communications support be first approved through the respective member of the Executive Leadership Team or Senior Leadership Team.

Before approving a communications request to proceed, also please consider:

  • If this initiative is part of a former region approach, should it continue in our provincial environment?

  • Should it be a provincial initiative? If so, who do I need to connect operationally FIRST before I consider communication needs?

  • Do I have adequate operational documentation (briefing notes, SBARs, background documents) to provide my communications support person with enough information to assess my communication needs? If not, who, operationally, do I need to connect with to get this information for me?

  • Consider the online support and self-help tools available in our Resources section. This section includes a Communications Support Request form for more complex issues.
