East Prince Health is one of four health regions on Prince Edward Island - serving the primary health care needs of individuals, families, and communities from Crapaud to Ellerslie.

The region is founded on the principles of community development. Local communities partner with healthcare providers to determine strategies to improve the health and wellness of citizens in East Prince. An overriding goal of the region is to achieve an appropriate balance among all components of care -- including the promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitative, and supportive aspects of health.
