A Fresh Look Ahead: WDMH Launches New Strategic Plan

June 22, 2026

Winchester District Memorial Hospital has a new Strategic Plan, one that builds on what is working and sets a clear direction for the years to come.

A strategic plan is a roadmap that outlines an organization’s priorities and goals over a period of time, helping to guide decisions and ensure everyone is working toward a shared vision.

“This plan is grounded in listening, learning, and planning for the future,” says CEO Cholly Boland. “We heard from our team, patients, partners, and community, and this plan reflects what matters most to them.”

The process behind the plan has been thoughtful and collaborative. Over several months, WDMH connected with hundreds of patients and members of the community, staff, physicians, and volunteers through surveys, conversations, and planning sessions. Their input helped shape both the direction of the organization and the priorities that will guide its work moving forward.

Those priorities are at the heart of the plan: improving care and access, supporting a strong and engaged team, strengthening partnerships, and ensuring accountability and sustainability. Together, they reflect a shared commitment to meeting the evolving needs of patients and the community.

“This is about staying true to who we are, while making sure we are ready for what is ahead,” adds Cholly.

While the plan looks ahead, WDMH’s commitment remains the same: caring for patients with compassion, close to home, and alongside its partners.
