Mentorship is the cornerstone of progress, but true leadership is defined by the commitment to invest in others. 🙏🏽
Recently, our PHSHV team were privileged and had the honor of learning from two giants of NZ's healthcare system who embody this philosophy.
Massive heartfelt gratitude to Chai Chuah and Dr Sisira Jayathissa for your incredible investment in our team’s growth.
The Highlights:
1. A Dialogue with Chai Chuah: Hearing from a former CEO of HVDHB and Director-General of Health provided a rare, high-level perspective on resilience and vision. Every person in the room was captivated, it was a masterclass in what it means to lead with purpose and the courage to lead through change.
2. Clinical Governance with Dr. Sisira Geriatrician and former Chief Medical Officer at Hutt Hospital: By breaking down Clinical Governance frameworks, Dr. Sisira delivered a vital message: these structures aren't just for clinicians, everyone has a role to play. This message of shared accountability landed perfectly with the team.
Thank you, Chai and Dr Sisira, for breathing fresh inspiration into our work and for your continued dedication to invest and mentor the health leaders our NZ system needs.

Zoe, one of our Health Coaches here at Pacific Health Service Hutt Valley, was requested to deliver tailored sessions for the Senior Volleyball Girls at Taita College 🤾🏽♂️
This particular session focused on Preparing and Mobilizing the main muscle groups used in Volleyball.
The reason for this was to teach the team:
👉🏽 Why common injuries occur in this sport
👉🏽 What movements they should be doing to help better prevent them
Zoe also delivered 2 fitness conditioning blocks during this session to help develop speed, power, and endurance for intense sets. As their fitness and knowledge grow, so does their confidence!
Showing up stronger, sharper, and ready to perform at their best.

Leading the development and maintenance of a healthy Pacific Community in the Hutt Valley
Pacific Health Services Hutt Valley is an independent health service working closely with our Pasefika community of 12,000 people in the Hutt Valley north of Wellington. We provide community engagement, development, support, health services and social services. Our focus is A Vibrant Healthy Pasefika community in the Hutt Valley. We have delivered value to Pasefika people since 1999.
Our Pasefika family-centred approach reinforces family strengths, provides appropriate support and empowers families to live well with greater control over their lives. We are very well connected as a core part of our community and our approach is based on socio-cultural evidence about what works. This includes working through established community networks and a focus on faith-led approaches to service delivery. The nine explicit premises from the Family Centre Report offer a good description of our Pasefika family-centred approach.
Our services are very well regarded and we achieve highly on client satisfaction and quality measures. We have built up a range of health and social services in response to community need. We work with Hutt Valley DHB, Te Awakairangi PHO and other providers.
Our services and projects include:

Over the next three years, we will deepen these partnerships and add new partnerships. We will develop our community relationships to attract greater levels of charitable donation and support. Consolidating our service offering will also allow us to develop partnerships with philanthropic organisations with an interest in progressing our vision for our Pasefika community in the Hutt Valley.
Our Board is made up of representatives from the main Pasefika groups in the Hutt Valley, co-opted representatives (e.g. representing Youth) plus independent directors as required to provide the skills and experience the Board requires. We will continue to develop our governance capability to take us forward and deliver on our purpose.
Our staff are passionate about our community and bring the skills and experience needed to deliver quality service. Over the next three years, we will continue to develop our service and leadership skills and invest in technology to assist staff in their work. Our current staffing is 11 (9FTE).
Over the next three years, we will consolidate the range of services we provide for our people. This is about filling current gaps in the services we offer and deepening our quality and evaluation processes. We will work with our partners to maximise the benefit to our people from available funding and ensure that the services we provide also meet this test.
Staff, Board and Funders work together to achieve the value for our community
