We believe in putting our population and our patients, clients and service users first.

We know that to make meaningful change, reduce health inequalities and improve outcomes for the 1.9million people living in Kent and Medway, working honestly, openly and collaboratively with our partners, is the only way.

Our vision is that we are a leader in health, working with our partners, to make Kent and Medway a great place to live and where people lead longer, healthier and happier lives.

To achieve this and achieve it well, we work in partnership with local councils, voluntary and community organisations, as well as many other stakeholders to drive our collective belief that we serve our population through seeing the whole person, not just one aspect of a person’s health and wellbeing.
