Finding Health Care Resources
We have compiled resources to help seniors and their families easily find health care information and other services. We put you in touch with government services, community sources of help and information, and various organizations that may offer what you need. The Nova Scotia Health Network, for example, provides a health and wellness directory, a list of Nova Scotia Physicians and Hospitals, drug information, and articles and books on health information. Other links provide information about Senior's Pharmacare coverage and services such as housing and care options.
