From October 2015 to April 2016, we hosted 1,000 people in 42 meetings to figure out how we can be healthier Nova Scotians. During this time, there were 9,000 visits to our Talk about health website, and hundreds of people downloaded information, filled out surveys and posted comments.
At our public meetings, we shared information about Nova Scotians’ health, then asked people to share their thoughts about opportunities and responsibilities for creating a healthier future. This report summarizes the top themes from those many conversations and the thousands of comments we gathered. View the report
