“Scenario planning is a dramatically new concept for our region as far as addressing a public policy issue because it offers the community an opportunity to look ahead and shape the system of the future through community wide conversation and dialogue,” Ann F. Monroe, president of the Community Health Foundation of Western and Central New York said. “The conversations that will take place over the next several months are intended to gather community input so we can put forth recommendations for a health system that can meet the needs of diverse constituencies, including the elderly, rural communities and families in poverty to name just a few.”

All of us are users of health care,” Monroe continued. “This initiative is structured to hear from as many users as possible about what they need and want from their health care system. Then, these many perspectives can be rolled up to create an accurate picture of the community’s priorities.”
