<p class="xmsonormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Over the last several months, the Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital (UGCH) leadership team has been developing the attached strategic plan for the next few years. This plan was developed based on feedback
from team members including comments submitted in the survey conducted in December of 2024. The plan has been approved by Hospital Leadership and aligns with the Upstate strategic pillars.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">This plan does not include all the incredible work we are doing and plan to do, but it is meant to guide us forward and to help us achieve our higher-level goals. We do recognize that this plan needs to be
flexible, and we will continue to review these goals and initiatives as time goes on.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">We will be tracking progress on the initiatives on a quarterly basis and will share updates with you all along the way. Initiative owners will receive a separate email with instructions on how to submit updates.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">As part of the tracking process, we will be launching quarterly forums to provide updates and to hear from our teams across the Children’s Hospital on the work they are doing. Our first forum will be held
on January 29<sup>th</sup> from 8-9am on Webex. Please add the time to your calendar. The meeting can be accessed through this link:
