Public Health
In Nova Scotia, Public Health works with others to understand the health of the community and acts together to improve health. We work together with individuals, community groups, partner organizations and government agencies to protect and promote the health of the population. From safe drinking water to seat belt use, the results of public health action are all around us. To find out how Public Health is transforming in Nova Scotia, download a copy of It’s Your Move.

Public Health has been involved in the lives of pregnant women, new mothers and their families for decades.
We’ve been offering a range of services we’re wondering…
- Are we keeping up with the times?
- Are we meeting the changing needs of new parents and their babies?
- How could we be working differently?
