Whakawhiti Ora Pai Community Health Centre

01/09/2026

Tena koutou katoa,

Our Board and team would like to do a huge shoutout to whanau, friends and colleagues who attended and supported the blessing of our Te Kao Clinic yesterday, which is now named the Kia Mataara Clinic. Kia Mataara was originally our local Resource Centre situated in the old post office in the Te Kao General Store. The Kia Mataara Resource Centre combined with the then Te Hapua Resource Centre to become Whakawhiti Ora Pai, providing local health services.

Thank you for attending and making the day a most blessed occasion.

Nga mihi to you all who made it possible.

Today is Daffodil Day 🌼💛

Some of our W*P staff showing their support for Daffodil Day today, with a very special little supporter joining in too!

Daffodil Day is a chance to come together, show our support for New Zealanders affected by cancer, and acknowledge those currently facing their cancer journey, alongside their whānau and loved ones.

Every donation, conversation and little act of support makes a difference.

If you'd like to support the Cancer Society and the amazing mahi they do across Aotearoa, you can donate here:
