Wishing you a Happy Easter!
The Easter long weekend is a time to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy moments that matter most - and maybe indulge in a little extra chocolate along the way.
Whether you’re sharing sweet treats with loved ones, getting outdoors, or simply taking a well-earned break, we hope your weekend is safe, restful, and full of joy.

🌈 One Month On: Living Our Pride Pledge
In February, Evolution Healthcare took the Pride Pledge, a public commitment to ensuring LGBTTQIAP+ (Rainbow) people are safe, visible, and included in all aspects of life. Taking the Pride Pledge means using our voice to actively support and celebrate rainbow communities, in our workplaces and in the care we provide.
For some, taking the pledge will feel deeply meaningful. For others, it may simply affirm a shared commitment to treating people well. For us, it represents one of the many strands of our culture that weave together to make Evolution a great place to work and to support truly patient-centred care.
This month and onwards, our focus turns to action. We are:
• Continuing conversations across our sites about inclusive practice
• Reviewing policies and language to ensure they reflect best practice
• Building on the leadership already demonstrated within ABI (one of our Evolution companies) and across our teams
We’re honoured to stand alongside other organisations committed to rainbow inclusion across Aotearoa. This pledge reflects our values in action, particularly manaakitanga (integrity) and our belief that inclusive, respectful environments help people and communities thrive.
Pride is not just a moment - it’s an ongoing commitment.

We were proud to host Associate Health Minister David Seymour and Health Minister Simeon Brown MP at Bowen Icon Cancer Centre yesterday as they welcomed a new proposal from Pharmac to fund two combination therapies for people living with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), a type of blood cancer.
The proposal includes funding venetoclax with ibrutinib, and venetoclax with obinutuzumab, as first-line treatment from 1 May 2026.
If approved, these treatments could help patients achieve longer-lasting remission, reduce the need for traditional chemotherapy, and potentially decrease hospital visits. The proposal also aims to reduce disruption and stress for patients already accessing these treatments privately by allowing them to continue care in private hospitals if they meet funding criteria.
This marks another step toward improving access to cancer treatments and supporting better outcomes for patients and their whānau across New Zealand.

After decades of dedicated service to the Wellington community, respected ophthalmologist Dr Neil Aburn is retiring.
Renowned for his compassionate approach and clinical excellence, Dr Aburn has transformed the lives of countless patients, not only restoring vision, but offering reassurance, clarity, and confidence along the way. His commitment to precision, patient education, and continual advancement in ophthalmology has helped shape the standard of care across the region.
Dr Aburn’s impact extends well beyond his patients. The team at Bowen Hospital will sincerely miss his consideration, collegiality, and respect for the wider surgical and clinical teams who supported his work.
While he will be greatly missed, Dr Aburn leaves behind an enduring legacy in Wellington. We thank him for his years of outstanding service and wish him every happiness in his well-earned retirement.
