Welcome!

As part of its commitment to the vision Healthy People, Healthy Communities, Eastern Health is starting a community health needs assessment of the Discovery Region (Economic Zone 15). Needs assessments provide detailed information about the health of people in their communities and what impacts their health. It also provides an opportunity to talk with and listen to community groups and individuals in order to understand what a community feels it needs in order to be healthy.

Eastern Health has completed needs assessments for the Burin Peninsula, the Southern Avalon and Bell Island. An assessment of the Northeast Avalon is currently ongoing.

The Discovery Zone needs assesssment will be launched in mid-January 2010. We'll be blogging regularly at that time.
