Ledge Light Health District

Promoting Healthy Communities

Welcome to our website! Whether looking for information about septic systems or researching a school project about cardiovascular disease, we hope you’ll find the site easy to navigate and useful. If you have any comments or questions, please contact us – we want to hear from you!

Ledge Light Health District (LLHD) is the local health department for East Lyme, Groton, Ledyard, Lyme, New London, North Stonington, Old Lyme, Stonington, and Waterford, Connecticut. From restaurant inspections to COVID prevention, we work hard to promote healthy communities and prevent disease, illness, and injury.

Collaboration is a cornerstone of our work – we pursue our mission by partnering with our colleagues in our member municipalities, the Connecticut Department of Public Health, local school districts, and numerous community agencies. Most importantly, we grow our work through the feedback and involvement of the community residents we serve. We can’t fulfill our promise to the community – to promote healthy communities and ensure healthy opportunities are within reach for everyone – without the help of community residents. So pull up a chair, get to know us, and consider being part of our promise.
