"Healthy People, Healthy Communities"

Our vision is rooted in the recognition that as an organization we must focus upon both individual and community approaches to health. Healthy communities enhance our prospect for individual health, and when individuals are healthy, communities are healthy. Eastern Health is committed to working with our partners towards our vision of "Healthy People, Healthy Communities".

By March 31, 2011, Eastern Health will provide health and community services along an integrated continuum within both its regional and provincial mandates and available resources to improve the health of people and communities.
