Health PEI was created in July 2010, marking a major step toward realizing a One Island Health System that provides Islanders with the right care, by the right provider, in the right place. Headquartered in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Health PEI is the single health authority responsible for the delivery of publicly-funded health services in Prince Edward Island, Canada. It operates hospitals, health centres, extended term care homes, addiction facilities and primary care sites among other facilities throughout the province while providing a wide variety of programs and services. The Health PEI Board of Directors governs the agency, is accountable to the Minister of Health and Wellness and works collectively on behalf of all Islanders to ensure the management and delivery of safe, quality health care.
As Health PEI continues to grow and establish a One Island Health System, they have set out several goals:
- People: Establish a healthy, safe and high-performing workplace that supports and develops people.
- Quality and Safety: Integrate quality and patient safety into the culture of the organization.
- Access and Coordination: Provide quality, equitable and patient-focused care across the province.
- Innovation and Efficiency: Develop new and innovative approaches to improve efficiency and utilization of health care resources.
The healthcare system on PEI is robust, with access to excellent services, including family doctors and specialists. The Island’s smaller size allows for timely care in a community-centered setting, where individuals are truly valued. Last year, Health PEI focused on expanding community care, and the adoption of innovative healthcare solutions to improve efficiency and service quality. They focused on enhancing patient-centered services and creating a healthy work environment for staff. Looking ahead, Health PEI aims to continue driving innovation, improving patient access to care, and optimizing healthcare resources to meet the growing demands of the island’s population.
Prince Edward Island offers a truly unique opportunity for physicians seeking a meaningful and impactful medical career.
