Overview
Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) Health Services brings together four regional health authorities – Eastern Health, Central Health, Western Health, Labrador-Grenfell Health – and the Newfoundland and Labrador Centre for Health Information. The creation of NL Health Services was announced by the Provincial Government in Budget 2022, following recommendations from Health Accord NL.
NL Health Services provides a broad range of programs and services to the people of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) through a large suite of facilities, clinics, and community services, overseen by the five zones: Central, Eastern-Rural, Eastern-Urban, Labrador-Grenfell, and Western.

The provincial health authority aims to transform the health system to provide high-quality health care to all residents of the province. The goal of this transition is to improve the health of the people of Newfoundland and Labrador and to create a more integrated, accessible, technologically-enhanced, equitable and sustainable health system.
As a teaching institution, NL Health Services remains closely affiliated with Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador and has close ties with the College of the North Atlantic and other post-secondary institutions.
