Thank you to Carter Products for getting in touch when they needed to find a new home for their AED. We were happy to be able to pass it on to the wonderful Urenui & Mōkau Rural Healthcare Inc. team to have available in one of their nurses' cars out in the community.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the generous member of the public who, through St John Taranaki, has gifted us an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
This life-saving device will be kept in our nurse’s car, ensuring it’s readily available in case of an emergency. We are incredibly grateful for this thoughtful and impactful contribution to the safety and wellbeing of our community.

Ngā mihi nui,

Urenui & Mōkau Rural Healthcare Team
