Te Kākano – Nurse-led Clinics

Clinics are held monthly at each of the following sites:

• THO – 78 Carroll Street
• Corstorphine Community Hub – 8 Lockerbie Street

Kaupapa for the clinics is set by the host organisation and needs are determined by the communities.

The health clinics aim to:

• Advance Whanau Ora and affirm positive Maori approaches that improved Maori health outcomes
• Recognise service models that address the needs of Whanau, hapu, iwi and Maori communities
• Enhance physical, spiritual, mental and emotional health, giving Whanau control over their own destinies
• Promote Maori service delivery systems that value health and social service collaboration and employ Whanau centred interventions.
