York Region Public Health

“Creating Strong, Caring, Safe Communities”

The Regional Municipality of York stretches north from Toronto to Lake Simcoe and includes many hectares of protected Greenbelt. York Region’s diversity is evident in our nine local municipalities, geography, economic development and population.

The Regional Municipality of York strives to keep its residents healthy. Under the Medical Officer of Health, York Region Public Health delivers a range of programs and services to prevent disease, protect the health and safety of residents and promote healthy lifestyles and environments. As one of Ontario’s 36 health units, York Region Public Health is directed by the Ontario Public Health Standards.

York Region Public Health’s Child and Family Health Division’s mission is to provide quality programs and services to promote healthy child development to new and expectant parents.
