6 Month Milestone

Bridge Northwest Program Celebrates 6-Month Milestone

This October marks six months since the launch of the Bridge Northwest Program — an important milestone in our regional journey to bring Meditech Expanse to partnering hospital Organizations across Northwestern Ontario.

Since our first Kickoff on April 1st, teams and working groups have been hard at work moving the program from planning & design into the building stage. This shift is where ideas turn into action: validation is wrapping up, content reviews are underway, and organizations are preparing for staff to see and explore workflows in the months ahead.

At the heart of this progress are our Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and champions. With representation from every hospital organization, working group, and healthcare discipline, these dedicated individuals bring their time, knowledge, and frontline expertise to shape how Expanse will support safe, high-quality care across the region. Whether working in clinical, technical, or support areas, champions have ensured that local perspectives are guiding regional design.

As we celebrate this milestone, we also look ahead. The next year will be focused on building, testing, and training — the most significant stage of the program. With SMEs continuing to guide this work, and with the support of staff and leaders at every organization, Bridge Northwest is building strong foundations for a shared future in digital health.

Together, we’ve achieved a lot in six months. Together, we’ll achieve even more in the months ahead.

Everyone is a builder.
