Winter Update
As we move into winter, it is pleasing to reflect on the positive progress being made across Ngāti Kahu Hauora. The dedication of our kaimahi, partners, and whānau continues to strengthen our services and improve outcomes for our communities.

Key Highlights

Quality and Health Outcomes
Our Community Services Team recently completed a successful Poutiri mock audit, confirming strong progress towards full audit readiness.
We continue to see positive results across several health indicators, including increased immunisation rates, improved cardiovascular risk assessments, and ongoing smoking cessation support for whānau. These achievements reflect the commitment of our team to improving hauora outcomes.

Strengthening Relationships
We recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Poutiri Trust, strengthening our partnership and commitment to shared goals for whānau wellbeing.
Several kaimahi also attended the Te Pā Harakeke Forum, joining Māori health workers from across Tauranga Moana to strengthen relationships, share knowledge, and support one another in our collective mahi.

Investing in Our People and Infrastructure
We acknowledge staff anniversaries for Krystal (7 years), Sally (4 years), and Hera (2 years) and thank them for their ongoing service.
Important infrastructure improvements have also been completed, including the Community Services Building power switchboard upgrade, while planning continues for the GP Building roof restoration.

Food Forest Project Completed
A significant milestone was achieved with the completion of our Ngahere Tupu Kai (Food Forest) project. We acknowledge the Tauranga City Council Climate Change Fund for supporting this important initiative, which will provide lasting benefits for our community.

Celebrating Whaea Janice Kuka
We proudly acknowledge Whaea Janice Kuka, who was recognised in the King’s Birthday Honours for her services to the community. This prestigious honour reflects her lifelong dedication and outstanding contribution to Māori health and wellbeing. We congratulate Whaea Janice on this well-deserved recognition.

Looking Ahead
We look forward to celebrating Matariki with our whānau and communities in the coming month.
Ngāti Kahu Hauora is also honoured to host the next Te Pā Harakeke Forum on 18 August, bringing together Māori health professionals from across Tauranga Moana to strengthen connections and support collective hauora aspirations.
As always, our work remains focused on improving the health and wellbeing of those we serve, helping to create stronger whānau, healthier communities, and brighter futures for generations to come. “Kua ea mai tō kahu oranga – Realising your health, wellbeing and prosperity”
