Care HQ – special subsidised telehealth appointments over the Christmas period.

Our PHO, Procare, is providing additional subsidies to a telehealth provider, Care HQ. This can be accessed through the MyIndici portal or through their website with a special coupon code.

For concerns that don’t require an in-person assessment, these appointments are much more cost-effective than Accident and Emergency clinics while we are closed.

Special Care HQ telehealth rates for 25th December to 2nd January only (see photo below).

If you book an appointment via the CareHQ website, use the special coupon code XMAS-25 to apply the Christmas rates in the photo https://www.carehq.co.nz/

If you have health insurance through Southern Cross, you can use your MySouthernCross app to access FREE consultations through Care HQ.

Please note, these special rates ONLY apply from 25th December to 2nd January.

Today’s focus for Mental Health Awareness Week is GIVE - giving can make others feel great, and us as givers too.

Today at Swanson Medical we were gifted some delicious homemade chocolate fudge by a patient, and nurse Monica’s lovely Nana donated some gorgeous wee knitted dolls to comfort our young patients. We’re very lucky and will be thinking of how to ‘pay it forward’.

I’m thinking I might bake something for my kids’ teachers tonight! 🧁

It's day two of Mental Health Awareness Week! We hope that you found time to connect /me whakawhanaunga yesterday. Our Top Up Together theme for Rātū (Tuesday) is give / tukua. 💚

Today is all about kindness. Sharing acts of kindness and your time with others can strengthen relationships and create a ripple effect of positivity.

This week is Mental Health Awareness week. Today’s focus is CONNECT - is there someone you can connect with today? We all have friends or family members we have been meaning to catch up with, let’s pick up the phone and make that call.

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week, and we’re encouraging you to Top Up Together as you bring the Five Ways to Wellbeing into your daily life. Connect / Me Whakawhanaunga is the Top Up Together theme for Rāhina (Monday).

Social connection is the ngākau/heart of our wellbeing. It weaves us together, making us feel seen, heard, and understood. When we nurture meaningful connections with others, we uplift our own well-being.
