The Halifax Community Health Board (HCHB) is made up of up to 15 community volunteers from Halifax Regional Municipality municipal districts 11, 12, 13 ,14  and 15 - Northend, Southend/Northwest Arm, Downtown, Connaught/Quinpool and Fairview.

In the simplest terms, a Community Health Board (CHB) is the eyes, ears and voice for the community’s health. The main task of the Board is to consult with residents and organizations about the various factors that affect health and to advise Capital Health on the initiatives necessary to meet the health needs of the community. It needs to be stressed that health is a lot more than just health care services. People create health in their everyday lives; where they live, work and play.

Health is a shared responsibility that includes caring for yourself, your family and your community. Together with other groups, the Board supports many different community activities that aim to improve health.
