Community Health Status 

The Renfrew County and District Health Unit regularly collects and reviews data from various sources on health status in the communities we serve: the County of Renfrew, the City of Pembroke, the Township of South Algonquin, and most of Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada.  Findings are summarized in a report series entitled "Our Health in Renfrew County and District".  More recent issues of the series can be viewed online.  Older issues can be obtained by contacting 613-735-8650, Extension 546.

Statistics Canada also offers many excellent resources on-line including community profiles based on recent demographic data collected in the census.

www.healthinformation.on.ca provides resources for professionals who use health information for population health planning and program development in Ontario.
