    History

    The Community Health Division (originally named the Community Health Standards Division) was created in 1972 within the Ministry of Health. It replaced the former Public Health Division.

    Under the supervision of an Executive Director, the Division reported to the Assistant Deputy Minister responsible for Community Health Services. The Division included the following branches: the Occupational Health Protection Branch (transferred to the Ministry of Labour in 1976), the Health Promotion Branch, and the Community Health Protection Branch. In late 1974, the Clinic Services Branch was transferred to the Community Health Division from the Direct Services Division.

    In December 1978 the Community Health Division was merged with the Personal Health Division to form the new Health Programs Division.
