The primary objectives for the Partnerships are:
- To gain a better understanding of the health needs of the community;
- To identify areas of priority for the community; and
- To collectively develop goals, objectives and strategies to address determinants of health, including social, economic, environmental, and safety factors, as well as improve access to appropriate health care services.
