Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit

What Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit does

Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit was a publicly funded local public health agency in Ontario, Canada, operating under the Health Protection and Promotion Act and funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health with municipal cost-sharing. The organization delivered a broad portfolio of clinical, educational, and regulatory public health services — including immunization clinics, sexual health clinics, dental programs, prenatal education, food handler certification, harm reduction (needle syringe program and naloxone), TB screening, and rabies vaccination — to residents of Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Counties, supplemented by professional resources (Reportable Diseases Toolkit covering 68 designated diseases) for healthcare providers, food business operators, schools, and municipal partners. Service delivery was anchored by 14 office locations across southeastern Ontario, with the Brockville office serving as the LGL hub, and supported by digital channels including the provincial Immunization Connect Ontario (ICON) portal and Ocean eReferral EMR integration for provider-to-public-health disease reporting.

On January 1, 2025, the organization merged with Hastings Prince Edward Public Health and Kingston, Frontenac and Lennox & Addington Public Health to form Southeast Public Health (SEPH), a consolidated regional public health agency led by Dr. Piotr Oglaza as Medical Officer of Health and CEO. The merged entity serves more than 500,000 residents across southeastern Ontario with 500+ staff and 150 volunteers, completed its public brand and website launch at SoutheastPH.ca in September 2025, and is pursuing Best Practice Spotlight Organization (BPSO) designation from the Registered Nurses Association of Ontario. All services continue to be provided free of charge under the provincial funding model, and revenue/budget figures are not publicly disclosed.
