Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services (NL Health Services, NLHS) is the integrated health authority of Newfoundland and Labrador, [1] tasked with the administration and delivery of health care services across the province.
The organization was established on April 3, 2023, from the merger of the province's previous 4 regional health authorities (Eastern Health, Central Health, Western Health, and Labrador-Grenfell Health), as well as the Newfoundland and Labrador Centre for Health Information (NLCHI). [2] [3] This merger was created following the passing of legislation proposed in 2022, enacted with the aim of consolidating the province's numerous regional health authorities into a single organization. [4]
NL Health Services is governed by a board of trustees appointed by the provincial government via the Independent Appointments Commission. [5]
NLHS is responsible for the administration of healthcare throughout the province, and is divided into five administrative zones, quoted from their website as follows: [6]
Central Zone | Eastern Rural Zone | Eastern Urban Zone | Labrador-Grenfell Zone | Western Zone |
