2024 Financial Report

In 2024, Public Health Sudbury & Districts launched its 2024–2028 Strategic Plan, building on past successes and setting the direction for the future. The four strategic priorities seek to create equal opportunities for health, cultivate impactful relationships, demonstrate excellence in public health practice, and nurture a healthy and resilient workforce. Working within vibrant communities, we acknowledge and honour the enduring presence, strength, and resilience of the original Peoples of this land.

Throughout 2024, we worked to foster strong partnerships, as well as meaningful relationships with First Nations and Indigenous communities in our vast service area. This work is highlighted in our 2024 Year-in-review: Connecting the Dots report.

Connecting the dots. Hands passing a wooden bowl of blueberries with the text “Creating more space for Indigenous voices”. A senior person’s hands holding a cane with the text “Resurging infections--protecting you and your loved ones.” An adult and child laughing in a park with the text “Support healthy smiles at every age!”. A light bulb over a table of professionals working together with the text “The toxic drug crisis is a complex issue requiring complex solutions.”

As Public Health continues to experience a period of fiscal constraint, we are refocusing our efforts to where they can achieve the greatest impact on community health. Evolving provincial directions, inflation, and growing health challenges due to the legacy of the COVID-19 pandemic require targeted allocation of resources and dedicated efforts. Led by our independent Board of Health, we strive to protect health and prevent disease for everyone, guided by our values of humility, trust, and respect.
