  • Diversity and Inclusion: We celebrate and embrace differences in age, gender, ethnicity, means, lifestyle, and religion.
  • Commitment to Compassionate Care: Our commitment lies in affirming life, offering dignity, and working collaboratively to meet the unique needs of both patients and their families | whānau.
  • Round-the-Clock Support: With our around the clock, seven days a week support, you can feel reassured knowing that help is always just a phone call away.
  • Partnership under Te Tiriti o Waitangi: As an organisation we are committed to authentic partnership under Te Tiriti o Waitangi and are doing the work necessary to improve outcomes for Māori people in our care.
  • Collaborative Care: We believe in collaborative care, working alongside GPs who remain the lead carers, ensuring a seamless and integrated approach to managing patient health and wellbeing.
