Our health services
Our healthcare support extends beyond that too. We are one of the few primary health practices in New Zealand fully integrated with social services, which supports the care of our very high needs population, many of whom have complex healthcare needs including histories of trauma, sexual and domestic violence, mental health, addiction and challenging behaviours.
