“It’s so much easier to write a prescription, do an intervention, drain a lung; but knowing when not to do it, that’s an art.”

We have an incredible team of more than 55 clinical colleagues that give the best possible care to 1 in 3 who die right here in the Nelson Tasman Region.

As New Zealand’s population ages, the number of people dying each year will rise rapidly. With hospices already experiencing funding shortages, who will care for us at the end of our lives?
