Grand Erie Public Health (GEPH) has officially unveiled its new brand identity, a bold and unifying symbol of its commitment to protecting, promoting, and advancing the health and well-being of everyone across City of Brantford, County of Brant, Haldimand County and Norfolk County.

GEPH’s new brand highlights its role as a trusted public health partner, working alongside communities to strengthen health and well-being. It embodies the dedication of GEPH’s staff and partners who work every day to protect health, prevent illness, and promote well-being.

The refreshed identity draws inspiration from the region’s natural waterways and landscapes, a reminder that public health extends outward, touching every aspect of community life. At its centre is a shield, a universal symbol of protection and safety. Within the shield, three converging shapes represent collaboration, strength, and GEPH’s three key areas of focus: prevention, protection, and promotion.

While the look is new, the trusted programs, services, and support that residents have come to rely on remain constant. The rebrand marks an important milestone following the merger of the former Brant County Health Unit and Haldimand-Norfolk Health Unit. It sets a strong foundation for the organization’s future and reinforces its mission to work openly with partners, listen actively, and meet people where they are across the region.

Over the coming months, GEPH’s new look will appear across its signage, digital channels, and materials as part of a phased rollout. The launch of the new brand and upcoming GEPH.ca website marks a key step in creating a clear, unified identity, ensuring residents can easily connect with trusted, local health information and support.
