OUR VISION

Whānau voice - shaping the evolution of hauora.

Mā te reo o te whānau e arahi ngā mahi

Tihei Takitimu connects with whānau and hapū to gather information about hauora needs. We understand how important it is for our community to have a safe space to share what is working and what needs improving in our health services. We want to hear your stories and experiences within the health system so we can advocate for whānau needs. Together we can create change to ensure the wellbeing of our rohe.
