WĀHINE ORA
Wāhine Ora: Our team is committed to breaking down barriers to screening, particularly for wāhine. We prioritize your comfort and safety, offering not only flexible appointments but also a door-to-door service. With the introduction of HPV self-testing, you have the convenience of screening at our clinics or in the comfort of your own home, at your convenience.
All smear screening appointments are free, catering to those who are due, overdue, have never been screened, or have any queries. We also offer home smear tests and transport to and from our clinics, ensuring accessibility for all.

Te Whare Tapa Whā
Te Whare Tapa Whā, created by Sir Mason Durie, presents health and wellbeing as a wharenui/ meeting house with four walls: taha wairua - spiritual, Taha hinengraro - mental/emotional, taha tinana - physical, and taha whānau - family/social wellbeing.
Additionally taha whenua - connection to the land forms its foundation. Balancing these dimensions is crucial for overall wellness.
