Bay Ward Meeting – Ottawa Public Health

Councillor Kavanagh has invited representatives of Public Health to discuss their programs and services.

Ottawa Public Health (OPH) provides public health programs and services to individuals and communities while advocating for public policies that make our city and its residents healthier. OPH is a teaching health unit and works with all post secondary educational institutions in the area.

Due to limited seating, please RSVP by emailing Bayward@ottawa.ca or phoning 613-580-2477 to save your seat.

“Public health units work to promote healthier living, to prevent illness and protect the health of our residents. We are in the part of the heath services continuum that largely aims to keep people well and that has capacity to reduce pressures on the healthcare system.
We work within the community, supporting people from before they are born through the end of life, with programming and service offerings that are most often delivered in partnership.”

Dr. Vera Etches,
Medical Officer of Health
