Setting community health goals: one District Health Councils experience.
The Niagara District Health Council has embarked on a strategic planning exercise to develop health goals, objectives and preliminary targets for action. This process was approached in three phases: establishment of a Health Goals Task Force and adoption of the five goals developed by the Premier's Council on Health Strategy; planning and implementation of a Health Goals Consultation Day to involve community members in the identification and priority ranking of objectives; and development of measurable and realistic preliminary targets through consultations with expert groups and individuals. This process is a practical planning tool applicable across sectors and communities.
