At Waiheke Health Trust, we focus not only on your physical health, but also on your overall well-being.

For our Community Support Workers, this means helping clients with shopping, cleaning and personal cares, but also going that extra mile and making sure that our clients are out in the beautiful community that they love and eating fresh, health, seasonal food.

Many thanks to Community Support Worker Lucy for capturing a day of cooking, beach walks, happy dogs and beautiful flowers - all with her lovely clients.

Waiheke Health Trust is able to accept private referrals for Home Support Services, so if you or a loved one needs some help to stay in your home on our lovely island, give us a call on 372 8893 to learn more.

Waiheke Health Trust is really grateful that one of our Social Work clients allowed us to share this beautiful feedback about the care and kindness they receive from our Social Worker Rozanne.

Rozanne can help if you or a loved one could use someone to walk alongside you for counselling and emotional support, family difficulties and relationship challenges, accessing health and disability services, or connecting with community or financial supports.

If you're ready to take the first step, call us on 09 372 8893 to schedule a time to meet with Rozanne.

A grateful client of Waiheke Health Trust recently made a donation and wouldn't let us spend it on anything other than treats for our team.

Such a lovely addition to today's kaimahi hui - so good that it even got us singing!❤️❤️❤️

Well Child Waiheke Health Trust is encouraging all local whānau with 4-year-olds to take advantage of our free, friendly and thorough B4 School Checks - designed to help tamariki thrive in the classroom and beyond!

This important check gives families the chance to discuss their child’s development with our experienced Well Child Tamariki Ora Nurses before they start school. From vision and hearing to communication and behaviour, the B4School Check supports early detection, and early intervention helps kids on island reach their full potential.

Well Child Nurse Elaine says, “Parents often leave feeling reassured that they’re doing a great job. The session is about celebrating your child and what makes them unique to help ensure they get the best possible start at school.”

Call us today on 09 372 8893 to book your 4-year-old's free B4 School Check!

As everyone knows, housing is one of the biggest barriers to recruiting essential workers such as teachers and nurses to work on Waiheke.

We are thrilled that UK Nurse Practitioner Samantha Voss will be joining Ostend Medical Centre shortly as our new Nurse Team Leader. Sam, her husband, and their 3 kids are moving from their home in Brighton, England to start their new adventure on Waiheke.

If you know of affordable, furnished accommodation that would suit this lovely family as they settle into island life, please be in touch with us at the clinic - contact info below!

An annual Christmas tradition at Waiheke Health Trust and Ostend Medical Centre is collecting necessities (and a few goodies, of course!) for our friends at Waiheke Budgeting Services Trust to distribute to those in need at the holidays.

We're really proud to support the work of this amazing organisation who make our community an even better place to live for everyone!

After providing about 8000 GP and Nurse appointments, 3300 x-rays and ultrasound scans, and receiving almost 1000 referrals to our Community Services this year, it's no wonder that the hardworking team from Waiheke Health Trust enjoyed a beautiful night out yesterday at Waiheke Bowling Club.

Thanks to the club for the warm hospitality, The Social Waiheke for the delicious kai, the coaches for their extreme patience and Cheek2Cheek for the gorgeous music.

And warm wishes for a safe and happy holiday from our team to our Waiheke community!

A key service that Waiheke Health Trust's Community Support Workers provide is meal preparation for the clients they are caring for.

So, how lucky were we to have a food prep training with local legend Sherri Hinch?

Sherri took us through great topics like preparing nutrient dense food for people recovering from surgery, best foods for those with swallowing issues, handling kitchen equipment and maintaining food safety.

A huge thank you to Sherri for an evening that was fun, informative AND tasty!
