__Strategic Priorities 2013-2017__ In order to have a strategic focus and intent that is clear and evidence-based, yet allows for the flexibility to adapt to an ever-changing healthcare landscape, the following objectives were adopted:

1) Improve community wellness through the arts and creative programming Create an atmosphere that contributes to healing & wellness by eliminating clutter & extraneous noise, having music and art available, improving waiting areas and signage and beautifying all buildings, areas and gardens.

2) Engage, support and empower staff through the arts, creative opportunities & education Provide avenues for staff to not only have a robust menu of options they can recommend to patients and families, but also the resources and support they need to better care for themselves.

3) Create a culture and healing environment in which the arts are accessible and engaging for everyone The main objective is to help improve the health and well-being of our community, Contra Costa County. Beyond the patients and families that use our system, and the staff who work there, innumerable people are affected by the actions of our health system.

To support these objectives, the following processes were identified as core:

4) Create sustainable infrastructure to solidify, support and expand this movement Create a framework supported by dedicated staff time, documented process and solid community partnerships to maintain the energy and resources necessary to ensure that this effort endures.

5) Commit to a robust, engaging communication process, for people both internal & external to the organization Utilize existing methods of communication and investigate how people want to receive information about programs, events, and resources available.

GOALS & ACTION - Real environmental transformation and the integration of creative programs into all of health care will come from a multi-year process, including close collaboration with other Health Services divisions and County departments, operational and business planning, and investment in infrastructure and staff capacity. ||
