A Year of Pursuing Learning, Innovation & Research
A Message from the Chairperson
and the Chief Executive Officer
The year 1997-1998 was a challenging one for the Regina Health District.
Throughout all the changes in work practices and work places, your health
care delivery and support team continued to learn and to grow.
We pride ourselves on being a learning organization. We are constantly
researching and acting on ways to make things better for our clients, residents
and patients.
All of us who work within the Regina Health District took pride this year in
having the District held up as a model for all of Canada in the way we deliver
integrated, client-centered care. The
learning that went on through this
accreditation process continues to
make us better at what we do for you.

We learn as an organization but we
also teach. Medical students from the
University of Saskatchewan’s College
of Medicine trained here throughout
the year. The District also provided
experience to students in other
programs, in cooperation with
educational institutions across
Canada.
Research and learning lead to innovation. Sometimes these innovations are
on a large scale. The Regina Health District is recognized as unique in the
country in having developed a completely coordinated approach to ensuring
that our clients and patients are given the care they need, when and where
they need it.
The human touch is critical to the work of the Regina Health District. It is as
vital to us to develop small innovations – such as lunch choices for patients in
palliative care – as it is to create innovative systems to coordinate care.
Ultimately, all lives are lived one day at a time. The quality of the care we give
each day, and the compassion, understanding, and support we demonstrate to
those in need, are the ultimate tests of whether our pursuit of learning,
innovation and research has meaning.
