Huron Perth Public Health

What Huron Perth Public Health does

Huron Perth Public Health (HPPH) is a regional government public health unit in southwestern Ontario, Canada, formed in 2020 through the merger of the former Huron County Health Unit and Perth District Health Unit. It is the statutorily designated health authority for the Huron and Perth county catchment and operates from three locations: a Listowel headquarters, a Huron office in Clinton, and a Perth office in Stratford, supplemented by mobile clinics. The organization is staffed by 29 employees and is governed under Ontario's Health Protection and Promotion Act, the Personal Health Information Protection Act, and the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

HPPH delivers a mix of clinical and regulatory public health services. Clinical offerings include sexual health clinics, immunization clinics, oral health programs, prenatal and parenting support, and harm reduction services. Regulatory and surveillance offerings include food safety inspections, well water testing, beach water quality monitoring, and outbreak reporting, the latter supported by a public-facing Outbreak Summary dashboard. All services are provided at no cost to residents.

HPPH is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care with cost-shared municipal contributions from the constituent counties. There is no commercial revenue, no proprietary technology platform, and no consumer product; the technology footprint is limited to SSL-secured web publishing and small public-facing reporting tools. As a public-sector entity, HPPH's operating capacity is determined by provincial funding allocations rather than market-based revenue mechanics.
