Making Dorset the healthiest place to live
We all want Dorset to be a healthy place where you can live your best life. This means taking care of our bodies and minds to stay well. The way we provide services is changing to meet your needs. We still need to give medical help when you need it, but we also want to work with you to focus on preventing illness and promoting wellbeing.
