On Saturday we had the honour of attending Mapu Maia's 'Together We Thrive' health event in Flaxmere. It was a chance for us to display our Te Uru Mataī mental health and wellbeing service pull up banner, share more information about our long-term conditions programme Kia Ora, and our unenrollment service Manu Taupua.

Our team had a great time networking with whānau and fellow stall holders and we had a lot of interest in our stall. It was also great to hear how many whānau are already enrolled with a General Practice!

A shoutout to Māori Hauora provider Te Kupenga Hauora - Ahuriri for their attendance in this event too.

🦴 It’s World Osteoporosis Day! Did you know osteoporosis affects 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men over 50 in Aotearoa? It’s often silent — until a fracture speaks loud.

Your health provider can help you stay strong: with early checks if you do have a fall or injury.
If you are enrolled in a General Practice, you may also visit for free, a health coach to talk about what lifestyle habits you can make to have strong and healthy bones.

Let’s kōrero about bone health and take steps today for a stronger tomorrow.
