One of the services that Ostend Medical Centre and Waiheke Health Trust provide is monthly community clinics for our patients at WISH TRUST Waiheke Island Supported Homes Trust and the Waiheke Retirement Village.

Erica and Ani headed off to the retirement village this morning with all their gear in tow and a full morning of patient appointments planned. What a day for it!

As always, thanks to the incredible Waiheke Tennis Club for making sure that our team always arrive in style in our fully funded fleet.

Thank you so much to the lovely patient who provided this feedback. We couldn't agree more that the island is a better place to live and to thrive thanks to Dr Dawn and Dr Zoe!

The team at Ostend Medical were really touched to receive this beautiful drawing of a huia feather from the fabulous duo of Allan and Lis from ProCare.

The drawing celebrates ProCare's 30 years of supporting primary care in Aotearoa New Zealand. We feel the love from them everyday and feel really fortunate to be a part of the whānau.

Things can sneak up when you're on island time, so a gentle reminder to our patients that Ostend Medical Centre will be closed on Auckland Anniversary Day and Waitangi Day.

Please make sure that you're up to date with your prescriptions so that you don't get caught short over the long weekends!

We were SO proud to get this beautiful feedback today from a new patient!

When you register with Ostend Medical Centre, one of our wonderful nurses - like Barbara - completes a full, in-person health check with you to make sure that your first visit with the doctor is as efficient and effective as possible.

We think it's a great system, and are so glad that new patients really see the value, also!

Did you know that Ostend Medical Centre patients can have FREE appointments with our Health Coach Jacki?

This month Jacki is encouraging all of us here at the clinic to forget resolutions and instead build healthy habits that will stick way beyond January.

Resolutions tend to fail because they’re too ambitious, too vague, or rely heavily on willpower. Habits are small, specific actions that repeat often enough to become automatic. Habits work with our brains, not against them.

If you're a patient of ours and would like Jacki's FREE support to build a healthy, happy 2026 give us a call on 372 5005 to make an appointment today!
