Mike our CEO, and Ange, our Hospital Manager, recently took a break from business to do some weaving for our Tukutuku feature wall panel, a collaborative artwork project for the YouthHub CHCH atrium. We're proud supporters of Youth Hub Christchurch, New Zealand's first purpose-built Youth Hub with supported housing facilities. 2026 is set to be a big year for the hub with plenty of exciting milestones ahead.

Supporting healthier people and a healthier planet is at the heart of what we do at Forté Health. Introducing Workride has been a simple, meaningful way to help our team choose active transport, reduce emissions, and enjoy a more affordable commute. Seeing so many of our kaimahi take up cycling over the past nine months has been incredible 💚

Leading from the front, Forté Gynaecology & General Theatre Team Leader Katrina Jolly spearheaded the inaugural gynaecology symposium at Forté Health last year.

A collaborative event bringing together Health Care Professionals including nurses, gynaecology outpatient staff from across sector organisations, the focus was on building knowledge and capability in gynaecology.

With topics ranging from menopause management and managing gynaecological conditions with the latest diagnostic and treatment strategies, through to the role of the anaesthetist in gynaecology surgery, the symposium was enthusiastically received.

“I was regularly approached by members of the Gynaecology team asking about upcoming study days or conferences they could attend. This highlighted a clear gap in accessible professional development for staff working in women’s health."

A special thank you to Pharmaco's sponsorship and the support from medical specialists and professionals in the field, including Dr Janene Brown, Dr Olivia Smart, Dr Rachelle Williamson, Niamh Clerkin, Jo Hopkinson-Haigh and Elaine Baxter.

We’re underway! Last week we welcomed our new hospital facility construction partner Naylor Love on site to begin the build that will substantially expand Forté's capacity for elective surgery.

Due for completion in mid-2027, this significant investment will increase our theatres from five to nine, and bed numbers from 22 to 61, including a special care unit to allow for more complex, longer-stay surgeries like joint replacements, bariatric and cancer surgery.

We recognise the incredible commitment of our team. That’s why we reward our permanent staff with extra leave after every five years of service 💚
