Louth launches new health initiative in Drogheda and Dundalk
Louth County Council has officially launched the Sláintecare Healthy Communities Programme in the towns of Drogheda and Dundalk, appointing dedicated Development Officers to champion the initiative locally.

This programme, part of the national Healthy Ireland initiative funded by the Department of Health and delivered in partnership with the HSE, aims to reduce health inequalities and encourage healthier lifestyles. Drogheda and Dundalk were identified as priority areas, set to receive increased investment and community-led projects tailored to enhance health and wellbeing.

The council emphasises a community-driven approach, collaborating with residents, voluntary groups, sports clubs, schools, and local agencies to identify needs and implement effective place-based solutions. Residents and organisations are encouraged to connect with the Development Officers to explore partnership opportunities and develop new health-focused initiatives. More details are available on Louth County Council’s official website or by contacting their offices during standard business hours.
