2025 - 2028 Strategic Plan
Board approved December 12, 2024
As we embark on this new strategic plan, our vision and mission remain unchanged and the core of all we do. We do, however, recognize our operating environment is changing, and more rapidly than in past strategic cycles.
There have been and will be significant personnel shifts within our funders, partners, and elected officials;
Policies and programs, especially for uninsured and vulnerable populations, are poised for major change; and
A deeper focus on social factors and equitable outcomes has opened new opportunities for health-related work while increasing the complexity of program design, operation, and measurement
Goal A
Achieve more equitable health outcomes by strengthening programs, provider and network capacity, and care coordination to meet client and provider needs.
EQUITY IN CLINICAL OUTCOMES: Analyze data to identify health disparities; select the most impactful approaches to reduce disparities; and integrate into programs.
ACCESS & APPROPRIATE USE: Enhance care availability, optimize the appropriate use of resources, improve processes, and increase emphasis on prevention to address comprehensive health needs.
ENHANCED CAPACITY: Expand provider capacity, services and networks to fill care gaps; boost the resources and capabilities of providers; grow and diversity the healthcare workforce; improve effective collaboration across the care continuum.
CLIENT-CENTERED CARE COORDINATION: Identify gaps and improve coordination across health care modalities; assist healthcare organizations to better assess, refer, and connect their patients to resources for health-related social needs.
Goal B
Advance solutions to complex healthcare challenges at state and local levels, by improving systems through partnerships that reflect the needs of those impacted.
LEADERSHIP AND VISIBILITY: Be at the forefront in resolving complex issues related to PCC's mission and goals; utilize and promote PCC's unique collaborative and multi-partner approach.
EXTENDED IMPACT: Increase PCC's collaborative and process improvement partnerships at state and local levels, extending the impact of our core skills to collaboratively design and implement solutions.
COMMUNITY VALUE: Leverage PCC's increased community presence and perceived value to improve its impact.
EQUITY AND INCLUSION: Capture, share, and integrate perspectives from all those impacted when designing or integrating health care processes and systems.
Goal C
Grow PCC operational excellence, reputation, and financial sustainability by investing in staff, and improving internal systems, external connections, and organizational adaptability.
FINANCIAL ADAPTABILITY: Assess and model funding possibilities, explore business models and service lines that foster sustainability and increase mission impact, and strengthen PCC's ability to adapt and thus enhance our fiscal stewardship.
ORGANIZATIONAL STEWARDSHIP & ENGAGEMENT: Develop robust leaders, high performing teams, and engaged staff and board; enhance and grow skill sets and culture of accountability.
OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY: Enhance policies, processes, and IT systems to improve efficiency, communication, and the effectiveness of programs, administrative functions, and cross-departmental activities.
REPUTATIONAL STRENGTH: Strengthen PCC structures to steward strong public and community relationships; increase internal and external understanding of PCC's contributions and value.
Each year, our staff translate these strategic priorities into annual operating plans with specific, measurable objectives.
Board and staff monitor progress, continually reflecting and redirecting as environmental factors require. In this way, our mission is the context for all we do, while planning elements adapt to opportunities and constraints.
Impact
With these strategies, PCC will be a leader in creating lasting changes that improve health outcomes, especially for vulnerable populations.
We will use data and incorporate the voices of those impacted, to hold ourselves and our programs accountable to community needs.
We will grow our service and organizational capacity to create a more equitable community—for individuals, providers, and organizations.
Together, with our plan and our partners, we are excited by the shared path ahead.
