Gateway's goals and objectives have been predicated on the following guiding principles:


• Serve the communities in our service area by extending and connecting   the work of  our member health care providers to the community.

• Foster collaboration across traditional service sector boundaries.

• Intensify efforts towards the prevention of poor maternal and child   health outcomes through addressing common risk factors.

• Increase the effectiveness of existing health care and social service   organizations.

• Develop social capital in our communities - connect people to resources,   institutions and each other.

• Promote a greater understanding of health care issues framed in   the context of individual development within the socio-cultural environment


Gateway's strategic directives are to improve non-hospital based provider services particularly for children, and become an advocate for mothers and children through political and other avenues of influence.
We also seek to maximize resources to enable implementation of new or expanded services for pregnant women and children.
