Good health is important to all of us. Social, emotional and physical wellbeing is important whether you are young or old, male or female, able or disabled. Good health is also something we all have to work at and take responsibility for.
The pages below will explain how the Council and its partners are working together to make sure that all members of the community can access what they need to maintain and improve their health and well being.

Healthy Bodies
Being healthy is important to us all, and we all have a responsibility to protect our own health and the health of those around us.
A healthy mind is as important to our wellbeing as good physical health. There are lots of ways in which we can protect our mental wellbeing and a range of support for people who are experiencing difficulties.
Many things shape the health of people and communities, from age and genetic characteristics to social, economic and lifestyle factors. East Lothian Council, working with partner agencies, is committed to improving health & well being throughout the county.
