What health priorities are most important to you, our citizens?

That's the question Capital Health's Community Health Boards set out to answer with our 2009 telephone survey: "Our Health: A Community Health Assessment Survey." Through this survey we talked to 3,000 residents of Halifax Regional Municipality and West Hants, the areas served by Capital Health.

We listened

We listened to what you shared through the phone survey, and then we invited you to join us for a series of Community Conversations about the health of our communities. We heard the voices of an additional 1,000 citizens through these conversations and through focus groups.

You told us what you need to be healthy, what stands in your way, and what supports would help you achieve better health.

What we heard, and our recommendations for action, are captured in Our Healthy Future... Realizing Our Promise: A Community Health Plan for 2010-2013. You can view the full plan here (PDF).
