Finding your way in the health system can be challenging. Here is some key information to help you find the right services or professionals for your situation.

What exactly is Health PEI?

Health PEI is the public agency responsible for the delivery of health care in Prince Edward Island. It operates hospitals, primary health clinics, home care, long-term care, and mental health and addiction services.

While the PEIFHN does not provide these services, it assists in improving access to them for the Acadian and Francophone community by facilitating referral to and awareness of services available in French.
