The Balanced Scorecard allows us to track progress against the intended outcomes of our strategic goals outlined in our 2019-2023 Strategic Plan. This provides transparency on Southlake Health’s performance and includes an explanation of why each indicator is important, what our results to date indicate, and specific actions we are planning. We will release an updated Balanced Scorecard quarterly.

Current Scorecard Results

Emergency preparedness is essential to minimizing, mitigating, responding to and recovering from an emergency or disaster. Southlake Health is vulnerable to a number of both internal hazards (i.e. hazardous spills, cyber-attacks or infrastructure emergencies) as well as external hazards (i.e. community disasters, severe weather, etc.). Maintaining an “all-hazards” strengths-based approach emergency preparedness program will ensure the organization is able to maintain critical services when an emergency occurs.

Emergency Preparedness Resources

Emergency Codes

The following code words have been designated to clearly communicate to all staff, clients and visitors that an emergency situation is taking place or is imminent. In the event of an emergency take direction from staff and/or emergency services.
