Impact, Achievements, & Key Documents
Our work is informed by the five dimensions of the Quintuple Aim framework, which are crucial for advancing coordination across partners and optimizing impact and value. Access reports, plans, and performance data to understand how we are making a difference.
Elgin's Neighbourhood Health Home Model
The Elgin Neighbourhood Health Home Model is our community’s plan to ensure everyone in Elgin has access to care close to home. This connected, team-based approach brings together health, social, and community services, so people receive the right care, at the right time, in the right place. Organized through a hub-and-spoke network, the model will include local care teams, mobile and outreach services, satellite sites, and a centralized waitlist for those without a family doctor or nurse practitioner. The Neighbourhood Health Home Model is a work in progress and will continue to be developed and integrated across our workstream priorities as we strengthen access, collaboration, and coordination of care throughout Elgin.
