Your program is housed in a 250-bed acute care hospital in a town of 35,000 people. You are employed by the hospital itself, reporting to the chief executive officer (CEO).

How will you proceed to prepare a strategic plan for this program? What steps will you take, and who will you involve in the process? Explain.
Your journal entry must be at least 200 words in length. No references or citations are necessary.
