What’s your picture of health?   What’s your role in the health care system? Can you imagine it differently?   These are just some of the questions asked by a 20 minute video called “Redefine. Rebuild. Reconnect: Changing Our Picture of Health”. This work was commissioned by the Population Health Working Group of South Shore Health, South West Health and Annapolis Valley Health, and produced by Journeyman Film Company. We’d like you to come to our website see the video, explore the tools! Use it, share it, and tell us where you might fit as we change our picture of health. Redefine. Rebuild. Reconnect. www.ChangingOurPictureofHealth.ca

Welcome

Welcome to the Nova Scotia Community Health Board (CHB) web site your link to an incredible network of more than 400 volunteers who are making a difference in the health of Nova Scotia communities.  There are 37 Community Health Boards across the province.

Community Health Boards serve a vital role in the well-being of their communities, helping support many community-based projects and partnerships. This includes providing grants to community-based groups to support their health promotion efforts.

Community Health Boards also help to identify health priorities and provide advice to their local health authorities. Provincial legislation recognizes the role of CHBs and requires health authorities to consider their input.

Learn more about these efforts and how you too can make a difference…

Changing The Culture We’re looking at ways to get people talking and thinking about the way we’re drinking. We’re looking at a new Nova Scotia where a change in culture will mean a place where you feel comfortable and confident saying no to one more and a time "when a drink is a drink… and company is the pleasure." www.changingtheculture.ns.ca
