Health care organizations are seeing changes in volume and demographics related to their patients, and labor and technologies related to the health care organization. 

For this assignment, select a health care organization within your state or region. Imagine you have been selected by the facility’s Executive Committee to develop a strategic plan that aligns to the organization’s mission and vision. Use critical thinking skills and research current events of your chosen organization to prepare your assignment. (Region Tennessee or Mississippi)
