This five-year Strategic Plan of 2003, a by-product of almost two years of intense direct participatory activity at all levels by more than 100 faculty/ staff/friends/affiliates of MUSC, comprehensively updates the 1997 University's Strategic Plan. A Strategic Planning Executive Committee was appointed by the University President in July 2001 and subsequently identified four focus areas to facilitate best use of anticipated finite future resources in meeting the most pressing MUSC mission-related needs while also capitalizing on the existing and potential unique strengths of the MUSC staff and facilities. In October, working groups for each area were appointed and charged with developing strategic plan recommendations. While the Executive Committee developed new University Statements of Value and Vision as well as reconfirmed the current Mission statement and took into consideration ramifications of a major emerging Clinical Facilities Plan, these four groups worked for eighteen months and developed the specific goals outlined below.
Charged with establishing a plan that addresses MUSC's role in promoting the health, increasing longevity, and improving the quality of life of senior South Carolinians the group adopted the following goals:
Establish a nationally prominent research program in aging with emphasis on translational research. | Develop a comprehensive and coordinated system of health care delivery for older individuals. | Provide health promotion, education, and outreach in aging for students, health providers and the public. |
