About this organization
Public Health is concerned with the health and well-being of the whole community, rather than the treatment of illness and disability, and focuses on four areas:
Preventing conditions that may put health at risk (protection);
Early detection and prevention of health problems (prevention);
Changing peoples and societys attitudes and practices regarding behaviours and societal choices (promotion);
Evaluating the health of populations including tracking and forecasting health events (assessment and surveillance).
The Northwestern Health Unit fosters the creation of supportive environments for health including active participation by citizens in decisions which affect their own health.
Through its knowledge of community health and community participation, and with the use of ongoing planning, program evaluation, priority setting and needs assessment, the Northwestern Health Unit ensures that programs are adapted to effectively address local needs
When is it open?
Northwest Health Unit (NWHU) is open Mon to Fri: 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.
