The PIHC Strategic Oversight Council

The Strategic Oversight Council (SOC) serves as an advisory body to the Providence Institute for a Healthier Community, receiving regular updates from the Institute. In addition, the SOC participates in the North Puget Sound Hospital’s Community Health Needs Assessment and Community Health Improvement Plan process helping to review and/or make recommendations regarding community health priorities and strategies. 

This council was established following the retirement of the PRMCE Mission and Healthier Communities Committee, prompted by updates in hospital board and committee structures. It ensures continuity in supporting both PIHC and the organizational mission to advance community health. Through strategic partnerships, the council promotes collaborative initiatives that improve local well-being. Key benefits of the council include the flexibility to adapt more quickly to new challenges and opportunities increasing responsiveness to community needs, the opportunity to easily connect with a broader perspective that brings diverse expertise and viewpoints to the table, and stronger collaboration building lasting partnerships and networks.

The PIHC Strategic Oversight Council continues to include select Community Mission Board Directors as well as other community members who can broaden the committee’s information base, offer insights regarding community needs, and build ties to community resources. 

We extend our sincere thanks to all council members for their dedication, insight, and commitment to improving the health and well-being of our communities. Your service makes a meaningful difference.
