Public Health Mobile Unit (PHMU) provides Public Health services in communities across the province. The program is made up of healthcare vans and people working together with community to support Public Health programs and services. 

Our people include Public Health Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Secretaries, Drivers, Health Promoters, Health Support Aides and leaders who collaborate and deliver community clinics, work with partners and connect Nova Scotians with health and social services. Learn more about our past work and planning on Engage4Health.
