Provincial Health Plan 2004-2008

Healthy Futures:
Securing New Brunswick's
Healthcare System

Premier Bernard Lord and Health and Wellness Minister Elvy Robichaud released the four-year Provincial Health Plan, Healthy Futures, on
June 9, 2004.

Since then, Healthy Futures is bringing health care as close as possible to where people live and work, by moving our health care system toward more community based delivery models for primary health care, such as collaborative practices and community health centres. And it means providing more services at the community level and in the home outside the more expensive hospital settings.

Once Healthy Futures is fully implemented, $125 million of new investments in new and enhanced services will be added to the base funding of the health system. This is above and beyond the additional funding that is required to maintain existing services.

Premier Bernard Lord
“The Provincial Health Plan provides a roadmap to meet our health care needs. It sets out for all New Brunswickers to see, a four-year health care plan to secure our province's health care system and make it sustainable into the future.”
