The feasibility study carried out by Impact Consulting looks at the potential not for a redesign the existing hospital infrastructure and unlock the potential for a more holistic facility which will better serve our community.
The project is an invitation which seeks to draw other significant community stakeholders together in Te Puia to collaboratively improve health, social and economic outcomes for our region.
When we think of “health”, most people instantly think of preventing or curing physical sickness ie. a hospital. However, from a Māori perspective health is more about wellbeing. It encompasses much more than our bodies and is intrinsically linked to all we do, including our social interactions with others.
It is fantastic to have a document which really unpacks the details of what this could look like and what is needed to bring it to reality.”
