WELCOME

HOKIANGA HEALTH ENTERPRISE TRUST is a registered charitable trust formed in May 1992, owned and governed by the people of Hokianga.

Hokianga Health (or Hauora Hokianga) is a health care provider, owned by the Trust. We provide a range of comprehensive, integrated health services to approximately 6,500 people who reside within the catchment area of the Hokianga river. Most of the services, including GP visits (for registered members of the practice), are provided at no cost at the point of need.
Hauora Hokianga is a member of the Te Tai Tokerau Primary Health Organisation.

Hokianga is located on the west coast of the Far North district of New Zealand. The area is traditionally described in Maori society through the visual linking of the mountains that surround the Hokianga Harbour. Hokianga is rich in both Maori and European history and is considered by Maori to be the birthplace of the nation. Kupe, the great pacific explorer, before eventually returning to Hawaiiki, settled in this place that later became known as Hokianga nui a Kupe.

Nutrition Hui

Our next nutrition hui is at Panguru on 20 April. Come and learn some new ways of cooking a nutritious and economical meal. This includes "first foods for baby" - healthy nutrition for toddlers. Other topics include reading the labels on food products, portion sizes, price comparisons (of healthy food compared with "junk" food), and working with a budget of $15 to feed a family of four for a main meal. We have had great feedback from our previous hui, so if you live near Panguru contact your local CHN or clinic for more information.
