Quarterly Kaumātua Health Check-up

Quarterly Kaumātua Health Check-up

The next Quarterly Kaumātua Health Check-up is taking place in two weeks on Tuesday, 17 June, from 10 AM – 12 PM at the Hineuru Iwi Trust Office (14 West Quay, Ahuriri).

These health check-ups are part of our ongoing commitment to the well-being of our kaumātua. They were created from the aspirations shared by whānau during last year’s drop-in workshops and are delivered in partnership with Te Kupenga Hauora.

This time, Te Kupenga is also offering flu and covid vaccinations for those who may want to be vaccinated while popping in.

If you’re not a kaumātua yourself, please help us share this message with those who would benefit from attending.
