OCTOBER 17-18, 2024 -- OLD MILL INN, TORONTO

AGHPS 14^th Leadership Summit

This year the AGHPS annual Leadership Summit will focus primarily on two major challenges facing all Schedule I hospitals, regardless of size or region.

Innovative Pathways in Addiction Treatment

Managing the complexities associated with addictions and substance abuse requires a shared vision, a provincial infrastructure and acceptance of a diverse approach at regional levels. We will devote a half day to presentations and interactive discussions on this topic. Share your experiences and strategies with other leaders and discover innovative operations from colleagues across the province.

Collaborative Hospital/ Community Partnerships

We will discuss bridges constructed between hospital and community to improve patient outcomes and access to quality care. Along the continuum of care, how do the pieces fit together?

The leadership in Schedule I hospitals is pivotal to the success of a mental healthcare system in Ontario. While regional differences and unique challenges addressed by Schedule I leaders will always be an important aspect of such a large system, the AGHPS is pleased to support the Mental Health Centre of Excellence as it determines priorities, data requirements and a mechanism for greater provincial system planning.

The AGHPS 14th Leadership Summit is a platform to incorporate the efforts, achievements and goals of all Schedule I leaders into the broader landscape of a system for mental healthcare in Ontario.

Through posters, presentations and interactive discussions we are confident that each participant will take home a new idea, a new plan and a new perspective on these and other important issues.
