Our Mission, Our Values
Mission Statement
Ma nga aahuatanga me nga whakaritenga o te ao Maori, ka ora te iwi
Based on traditional values and correct procedures, we will have wellness. We aim to provide a culturally appropriate and accessible service for Maori that encompasses the four cornerstones of health and well-being:
te taha wairua (spirit), te taha hinengaro (mind), te taha tinana (body), and te taha whanau (family).

Mai nga mokopuna ki nga kaumatua
