The Labrador-Grenfell Regional Health Authority (Labrador-Grenfell Health) was formed on April 1, 2005, with the merger of Grenfell Regional Health Services and Health Labrador Corporation.

Labrador-Grenfell Health provides quality health and community services to a population just under 37,000 and covers the communities north of Bartlett’s Harbour on the Northern Peninsula and all of Labrador. Corporate headquarters is located in Happy Valley-Goose Bay.

Labrador-Grenfell Health employs approximately 1475 staff and operates twenty-two facilities, including three hospitals, three community health centers, fourteen community clinics stations and three long term care facilities. In addition, there are Child, Youth and Family Services offices located throughout the region.

Labrador-Grenfell Health is an integrated health and community services board. It delivers both primary and secondary health services to the residents of the region, including acute care, diagnostic services, continuing and long term care, health promotion, mental health and addictions, family and rehabilitation services, child protection and intervention services, youth services, adoptions, child care services, residential services and community health nursing.

In the aboriginal communities, Labrador-Grenfell Health is joined by the Nunatsiavut Department of Health and Social Development, two Innu Band Councils, the Labrador Métis Nation, Health Canada and private practitioners in delivering community health programs that meet the health needs of residents in the region.
