Our Story

Primary Health Organisations (PHOs) provide essential primary health care services to those people who are enrolled with the PHO. PHOs bring together doctors, nurses and other health professionals in the community to support the health needs of their enrolled populations. When your doctor decided to join a PHO you would have signed a consent form and become an ‘enrolled PHO patient’. PHOs can now do more things to keep people healthy, by improving access to health services and connecting with people in the community who are missing out or have poor health.

The Whanganui Regional Health Network (WRHN) has approximately 40 employees who are responsible for a variety of clinical and administration activities and contracts. There are 11 General Practices under WRHN, serving a population of approximately 60,000 across the Whanganui district. The benefits of belonging to WRHN are cheaper fees when you see your GP and access to a range of free health services (requiring referral by your GP or Practice Nurse), e.g. pregnancy and parenting service, counselling service, immunisation service, social workers, community health workers, diabetes support, pharmacist facilitators, chronic care nurses.
