Foundation Forum 2024
Caring for Saskatchewan, Together
The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is pleased to present the second SHA Foundation Forum focused on, Caring for Saskatchewan, Together.
This theme emphasizes the importance of collaboration and partnership in caring for our patients, health care teams and communities, together. When we share a collective responsibility in nurturing the well-being of our province, we are reminded of our shared health system priorities and commitment to support one another. By working together in partnership, we can create improved health outcomes for our patients and families, resiliency and pride in our facilities, and address the unique challenges and opportunities we face in healthcare across Saskatchewan.
The SHA has a sincere appreciation for our partnerships with Saskatchewan Hospital and Health Care Foundations. The bond between healthcare and philanthropy means that we can do more to improve health and well-being. Every day. For everyone.
This year's Forum will be an engaging and interactive event designed to enhance networking and collaboration between health system leaders and partners of Saskatchewan Hospital and Health Care Foundations. Attendees can look forward to informative presentations, thought provoking panel discussions, and collaborative group activities that will facilitate shared learning and foster connections among members of our healthcare community.
