Kapiti Health Centre 10th Anniversary

A Minister, a mayor, and the maternity unit’s first mum came together with staff on 1 November to celebrate a decade of good health at the Kapiti Health Centre. Tania Yip was the first woman to use the new birthing unit in 2003 and was joined by her daughter Pearl, pictured left with the Hon Nathan Guy and Kapiti Mayor Ross Church. Pearl also celebrates her 10th birthday this year. Read more here >

Helping our community nurses

Building closer relationships with aged residential care (ARC) facilities, like Kemp Home & Hospital, plays an important role in our efforts to reduce hospital admissions through our Community Health Services (CHS) district nursing teams. Staff are now more confident in their practice, and unnecessary hospitalisations are avoided - better for patients, and their families. Read more here >

Health services for older people

Growing older is something we should all celebrate. The wealth of skills, knowledge and wisdom that older people bring to our community is invaluable. So rather than focusing on the mental and physical decline that can come with ageing, many older members of our community are focusing on how they can remain active physically, emotionally and socially. This new section to the website brings together information about the support services available to older people and their families/whanau in the Wellington region. Click here to read more>
