Our Region
The geographic boundaries for Eastern Health include the island portion of the province east of (and including) Port Blandford. This area includes the entire Avalon, Burin and Bonavista Peninsulas as well as Bell Island, within a total of 21,000 km2.
Traditionally, the settlement patterns of this area have been tied to the fishing industry, which results in many small communities scattered along the coastline of these three peninsulas.
