Overview

As the provincial health authority, NL Health Services is responsible for providing health care across Newfoundland and Labrador. Our goal is to create a health-care system that is more integrated, accessible, technologically enhanced, equitable and sustainable for everyone in the province. By operating under one unified provincial authority, we can streamline services, improve efficiency and work toward better health outcomes for all people of the province. 

Guided by the vision of Health Accord NL, we offer a comprehensive range of health-care programs and services through a wide network of facilities, clinics, and community services across five zones. This regional structure allows us to tailor programs and services to better meet the unique needs of communities across the province. While each zone is responsible for delivering certain services locally, all zones operate within the framework set by NL Health Services. This ensures consistency, quality, and coordination across the province, while maintaining a unified approach that aligns with provincial standards and priorities. In this way, we balance local responsiveness with provincial oversight to provide equitable and efficient care for all.
