Making Strides

Aberdeen Health and Community Services takes another step in its journey to build the healthiest environment for its healthcare staff and the community it has served for over a century.

Executive Director, Heather Bruce, notes that Aberdeen Health and Community Services has committed itself to supporting the health of its staff many of whom are long-term employees who have been involved in direct care of the surrounding community members for years. Seeking a tangible way to communicate its commitment and some concrete objectives to guide their future initiatives, the Board of Directors and Leadership team signed the Healthy Healthcare Leadership Charter. Aberdeen Health and Community Services looks forward to networking with other organizations that are also engaged in work building healthy healthcare work environments and a quality of worklife that enables staff to provide the highest quality of healthcare possible.
