Please be advised that as of January 1, 2025, Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit and Peterborough Public Health will merge to form the Haliburton Kawartha Northumberland Peterborough Health Unit. This is our legal name only.
We are currently undergoing a process to develop a new brand identity that will also include a new name. This will take us several months to finalize.
