We had a magical night at the Omiha Hall - Omiha Welfare and Recreation Society, OWRS celebrating the career and the retirement of our beloved Linda Hodson.

It was incredibly inspiring to hear about Linda's life of service - from her family, fellow midwives and nurses, the doctors and medical staff she has worked with, the Waiheke Local Board and, of course, from the families whose babies she has brought into the world.

Waiheke Health Trust is deeply grateful for the essential role that Linda has played in our organisation and in our community through her skill, advocacy, compassion, honesty and deep care and commitment to women's and family health. We wish her a long, happy and healthy retirement.

It's Day 5 of us sharing how easy our new website makes it to access comprehensive health services on Waiheke and for our final feature we're pointing you in the direction of our Ostend Medical Centre patient page.

Not only that, you're in the Waiheke Health Trust whānau, which means easy access to x-ray and ultrasound, Well Child and Specialist nursing services, Occupational Therapy, Meals on Wheels and more!

While we are proud of everything we do, we believe that the comprehensive nature of our Specialist Community Care may not be equalled in Aotearoa New Zealand. In other words, we are really fortunate, Waiheke!

While the community often sees our Community Nurses zipping to their daily home visits in our fleet of electric cars (thank you, Waiheke Tennis Club!), did you know that we also administer Meals on Wheels, employ Occupational Therapists who can complete home access modifications, provide free speech language therapy and are responsible for all of the palliative care nursing on Waiheke?

And that's not all - from Ostend Medical Centre's community clinics to toe nail care and podiatry, dietetics to home support, and social work to physiotherapy services via Waiheke Physiotherapy, we've got you covered and most services are free if you qualify.

Learn more here and please be in touch if you or a loved one needs support: https://www.wht.org.nz/specialist-care.

Waiheke Health Trust and Ostend Medical Centre are delighted to introduce our new combined website - https://www.wht.org.nz/

Of course we think that it looks fabulous, but the reason we designed it was to make healthcare easier to navigate and access for our Waiheke community.

For everything from doctor's appointments to paediatric dietician support, foot care for our elderly residents to palliative care, Waiheke Health Trust has you covered and the new website's format makes it incredibly easy to find what you need.

We'll be putting up posts throughout the week to highlight how to use it to navigate care for all ages, but in the meantime, we invite you to just have a good nosey!

Waiheke Health Trust and Ostend Medical Centre are incredibly excited that we will be sharing our beautiful new website in the coming days - especially since it is designed to make healthcare a lot easier to access and navigate for our Waiheke community.

BUT, in the meantime, it may mean that our sites are down intermittently over the next couple of days, so please call us on 372 8893 (WHT) or 372 5005 (OMC) for any enquiries.

Thanks for your patience and we'll let you know as soon as the new site is live!

As a charity, Waiheke Health Trust depends on our generous community to fund much of our essential medical equipment. Because of this, we are incredibly grateful to Waiheke Local Board for stepping up yet again, this time helping to fund the purchase of a pneumatic compression pump for our Specialist Community Nursing service.

Ellen and her colleagues have been using the pump to help patients get better faster and to return to their active lives on our beautiful island. Thanks so much to the Local Board from our patient Garth, the District Nurses and all of us here at Waiheke Health Trust!

Waiheke Health Trust and Ostend Medical Centre were honoured to have our recently retired nurse midwife Linda Hodson lay our wreath at today's ANZAC service.

Linda not only represented the Trust, she also provided us with a completely natural, locally sourced wreath. What a treasure!
