Nova Scotia Health’s public health teams focus on preventing and controlling diseases, promoting health education, and improving community well-being. They monitor and analyze health data to identify trends and emerging health threats, collaborating with local health authorities to implement preventive measures and vaccination programs. 

This team also educates patients, staff, and the community about health risks and encourages healthy behaviours through outreach initiatives and campaigns. Additionally, they play a crucial role in emergency preparedness and response, ensuring our health centres are equipped to handle public health crises effectively.
