Health Promotion – Action for a healthier Latrobe

Latrobe Community Health Service is committed to making Latrobe a healthy and vibrant place for all. We work to improve the health and wellbeing of our community in the Latrobe Valley. To do this, we apply a settings-based, systems-thinking approach to health promotion.

Creating healthy places where we live, learn, work, connect and play.
