Welcome

In February 2006 Premier Rodney MacDonald announced the creation of the Department of Health Promotion and Protection.

The new department brings together Nova Scotia Health Promotion, the Public Health branch of the Department of Health, and the Office of the Chief Medical Officer of Health. By bringing together experts in promotion, prevention and protection, government is taking the next step forward in creating a healthier and safer Nova Scotia.
