Simple steps to protect you and your whānau these holidays.

☀️ Sun safety:
Slip, slop, slap, wrap — and stay cool and hydrated in the heat.

🔥 Fire safety:
It’s a dry season. Keep BBQs and candles clear, and check your smoke alarms are working.

Let’s look out for each other and enjoy a safe, relaxing summer. 💛

This morning, we celebrated the blessing and opening of the revitalised Ora Toa Waitangirua Medical Centre, located next to the original site. It was lovely to see familiar faces from the old health centre join us for this special occasion.

A huge thank you to all our local tradies and partners whose hard work and craftsmanship brought this centre to life. This is a true community effort we can all be proud of.

“Waitangirua is the heart of Porirua, our community deserves access to quality health services and shouldn’t have to travel for it,” says Jennie Smeaton, Deputy Tumuaki, Te Rūnanga o Toa Rangatira.

We look forward to welcoming all our current patients and whānau into the new space and continuing our commitment to supporting the wellbeing of those within in our rohe.
