Eastern Health

The organization provided a full continuum of health and community services, including public health, long-term care, and acute (hospital) care to a regional population of more than 300,000.

This area included the entire Avalon, Burin and Bonavista Peninsulas as well as Bell Island, within a total of 21,000 square kilometres (8,100 sq mi).

Eastern Health also partnered with numerous organizations – most notably Memorial University of Newfoundland and the College of the North Atlantic – to educate future health professionals, conduct research, advance knowledge, and improve overall patient, client and resident care.

Similarly, Eastern Health benefited from the efforts of its six foundations and various auxiliaries.

In the 2022 provincial budget, the Newfoundland and Labrador Government announced its intentions to integrate the existing four health authorities into one entity.
