Eastern Health has launched a section on its website to provide individuals, families and communities with more comprehensive and accessible information related to their health and wellness. The Health Information section, known as Hi, is a new online platform designed to provide engaging information about important health topics that cover the lifespan of individuals – from preconception health to healthy aging.

The Hi website contains over 200 health and wellness information topics, along with links to resources and community agencies.

The Hi website was designed with individuals, families and communities in mind. With a fresh look and feel, the Hi website provides better online experiences through credible and up-to-date content, intuitive navigation, robust search tools and improved access across devices. This means people can interact positively with this site whether they use mobile phones, tablets or desktop computers. 

To view the new Health Information website, please visit hi.easternhealth.ca.

To help Newfoundlanders and Labradorians sit less and move more, the Government of NL and ParticipACTION have partnered up, with the support of Recreation NL, to develop educational resources that encourage and motivate people to be more physically active. Available now is an Older Adult Physical Activity Toolkit, a Teen Toolkit, and the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for the Early Years (0-4).

All of the information and resources can be found on Recreation NL’s website at http://www.recreationnl.com/programs-events/fyf/participaction/.

The deadline dates for the Community Wellness Grant Program are February 1 and September 30 annually. The criteria and forms are posted under Coalition Funding.   Application is now a fillable form.  Please note: If you are using the fillable form, you must fax, mail or scan and email, the completed signature page. Applications will not be accepted without required signatures.
