Why is the Clinic organizing a public consultation?
The recent changes announced in Quebec’s health and social services network, the ongoing labour shortage, the transformation of the demographic portrait of Point St. Charles are among the major issues that are bringing the Clinic to review its positioning.
This extensive consultation will allow the Clinic to obtain feedback from neighbourhood stakeholders in order to better understand their health care needs and concerns. It is part of a strategic reflection process that began in the summer of 2022 and will run until June 2023, when a new 2023-2025 strategic plan will be submitted to the board of directors, and then communicated to the public by the Clinic.
The feedback received will be essential in planning the development of the Clinic, which offers a unique participatory management model for health services in Quebec. Since the Clinic’s creation more than 50 years ago, the citizens have been involved in the decision-making process of the organization’s orientation and service offer, ensuring that it meets the health and social services requirements of the neighbourhood.

The steering committee
A steering committee was formed with the mandate to coordinate, plan and see to the realization of the planning.
It is made up of two board members — Pierre Riley and Louise Chapados — general coordinator Martial Mainguy, human resources coordinator Ginette Pilon, executive advisor Nathalie Parent, community organizer Ariane Carpentier, communications agent Céline Bianchi, Clinic administrator and employee Marie-Alexandre Côté (ICASI at home care support), as well as a consultant from the firm OBNL360. The Clinic benefits from the firm’s support and advice to carry out the strategic planning exercise and communicate results.
To ensure that the project meets the Clinic’s rules of citizen participation and participatory management, the steering committee will be probing various internal committees (Advisory Committee, Users’ Committee, professional councils), Clinic coordinators, teams (home care support, youth, etc.), community groups and neighbourhood residents. At all stages of the process, and particularly at the time of consultation and facilitation, the committee will ensure the presence and representation of various stakeholders.
