The Lunenburg County Community Health Board (LCCHB) is a group of volunteers from your local area who are working to improve health and wellness. Our role is legislated under the Health Authorities Act. We represent the people of Lunenburg County and strive to recruit members from the far corners of our county. We encourage members to join who reflect the diversity of our county - men and women of all ages, ethnic groups, etc. We seek out those who have an interest in health and wellness and those who have knowledge of their local community.
