If you’ve ever wondered who’s behind our marketing and enrolments teams… here we are! Yesterday we got together to wrap up the year the best way we know how. It’s been a full-on one — from running campaigns across every channel to welcoming countless patients from Local Doctors and White Cross.
And of course, we couldn’t finish the day without a round of stolen santa… fingers crossed no one takes Laura’s present, or we might all be in trouble! 🎄🎁

End of Year Celebrations in Whangārei, Christchurch, and Palmerston North

A big thank you to our amazing teams from White Cross Whangārei, our Christchurch clinics, and City Doctors Palmerston North for hosting their end-of-year celebrations over the weekend.

The Whangārei team came together for a fantastic evening of great chats, good food, and plenty of fun at No. 8 Restaurant & Bar. It’s lovely to hear that everyone had an awesome time.

Meanwhile, our Christchurch team celebrated at the Curators House, making the most of a beautiful venue and great company.

Down in Palmerston North, the City Doctors team celebrated their end-of-year function in style. Dressed to impress, they enjoyed great food, plenty of laughs, and a well-deserved night out together. Thank you all for the energy, teamwork, and heart you bring every day — we’re truly grateful for everything you do for our patients and our community.

Thank you all for your hard work, dedication, and teamwork throughout the year — we truly appreciate everything you do. Here’s to a well-deserved celebration and an exciting, even brighter year ahead!

Last week at Digital Health Week in Christchurch, our CEO Lloyd shared a powerful presentation on “Life lessons from a 4-year-old cape-coloured boy growing up in apartheid South Africa for digital health innovators.”

He spoke about why digital health implementations can be challenging, reflected on our HCM Cloud journey with Oracle and Deloitte, and highlighted the principles that help make these projects succeed — adopting a commercial mindset, leaning on the right partners, and keeping hope (and a clear plan) close at hand.

Lloyd’s storytelling made the session truly memorable, and the feedback from attendees has been nothing short of inspiring. We’re proud to see his lived experiences and leadership shaping the future of digital health in Aotearoa.

Last week, our team joined Pacific healthcare partners to receive a warm thank you from Health New Zealand Pacific Health Directors and Minister of Health Simeon Brown for our collective response to the recent measles outbreak, that lifted immunisation rates amongst our pacific communities. The mahi led with a measles awareness campaign from Health NZ and was strengthened in clinics like ours, with patient outreach programmes and greater access with pop-up vaccination clinics.

Whilst Pacific immunisation rates have improved, there is still more mahi to be done before we reach the 95% needed for heard immunity. With more than 30 clinics across the motu and a deep commitment to community wellbeing, we remain focused on kōrero, education and increasing access – we’re doing what it takes, to ensure every patient gets the care they need.

oday our Management Support team came together to celebrate Diwali, a day that reminds us of the power of light, togetherness, and new beginnings. ✨

We also had double (actually triple!) the reason to celebrate, wishing our wonderful Executive Administrator, Sue, a very happy birthday 🎉 and saying goodbye to our amazing People & Capability Operations Manager, Monre, who’s been part of our whānau for the past three years. You’ll be so missed, but we’re excited to see what your next chapter brings. 💛
