The wait is over — here it is.
Our new logo in full, bringing together the elements that reflect our story and our community.

2026 marks 40 years of caring for our Franklin community.
Four decades of walking alongside families.
Forty years of compassion, support, and presence when it matters most.

Our new logo carries that legacy forward:
Whenua — the land that holds us, our community, our people, our home.
Awa — the river of support that flows around families, adapting, surrounding, and moving with every journey.
Backbone — strength, advocacy, and steady guidance when it’s needed most.

Though our look is evolving, our promise remains unchanged:
to continue providing compassionate hospice care in your homes across Franklin — always with heart.

New Year. New Look. New Name.
Same Purpose. Compassionate hospice care — still here & still local.

Backbone — strength and support

This element of our new logo symbolises the strength and support of our community and whānau.

The feathers represent the many cultures, backgrounds, and experiences that make us who we are — united in care, diverse in spirit.

New Year. New Look. New Name.
Same Purpose. Compassionate hospice care — still here & still local.

The second element of our new logo:

Awa — the river flowing through our region

Stretching from the west coast to the Firth of Thames, our hospice region includes the Waikato River flowing through its heart.

A symbol of life and continuity, the river reflects the journey of hospice care — supporting whānau to live fully, with strength and dignity.

New Year. New Look. New Name.
Same Purpose. Compassionate hospice care — still here & still local.
