Public Health

Population Health is an approach that addresses the entire range of factors that determine health and, by so doing, affects the health of the entire population.  Population heatlh focuses on coordinating and encouraging  initiatives that promote and protect health and prevent disease and injury.

There is increasing understanding that many of the factors that determine health lie outside the control of the traditional health sector. These factors include the environment, family and social supports, economic status and individual behaviours. Community and Primary Health Care services work to promote awareness and support of these determinants among health providers and the public.

Population Health Services include:

• Public Health Nursing
• Environmental Health (Public Health Inspection)
• Medical Health Officer
