The Eastern Regional Wellness Coalition is comprised of community, government and non-government groups and agencies  with an interest in promoting wellness and improving the health and well being of individuals and communities in Eastern Newfoundland.

The Eastern Regional Wellness Coalition builds on the work of the former Eastern Heart Health Network involving existing partnerships as well as links to new groups and organizations interested in promoting  wellness.   The former Eastern Heart Health Network was established  to encourage and support the development and delivery of heart health activities within the Eastern Region.

The Eastern Regional Wellness Coalition is presently undertaking initiatives that promote and support the wellness priority areas as outlined in the Provincial Wellness Plan. These include:

• Healthy eating
• Physical activity
• Tobacco control
• Injury prevention
• Mental health promotion
• Child and youth development
• Environmental health
• Health protection
