CAMH Strategic Plan 2003 - 2006: Highlights of Progress

In large part due to the solid framework provided by our previous strategic plan, CAMH has made significant progress over the past five years in a variety of different areas, including the completion of the Functional Program which will guide CAMH's clinical programs through the redevelopment of the Queen Street Site, launching of a multi-year public education strategy, establishing provincial priorities in the areas of youth, concurrent disorders and diversity and the acquiring of a new Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanner -- one of only two in Canada. Additional highlights include:

• Average Length of Stay decreased from 87 days to 47 days
• Professional education has increased by over 30%, to 9,000 providers/year
• Over 30% increase in Volunteers
• Research funding has increased by close to 60% to $28 million per year
