Hospice Tairāwhiti

Hospice Tairāwhiti provides community-based hospice care for the people of Tairāwhiti, from Morere to Potaka. Hospice or palliative care is specialised care for patients who are terminally ill.

Hospice Tairāwhiti's focus is on improving quality of life for the patient and providing support for the family. They do this by providing practical advice, physical, emotional, and spiritual support, with the emphasis on pain relief and symptom management. The service includes family support and grief and bereavement care. 

The aim of Hospice is to help people make the most of their lives, to live every moment in whatever way is important to them.

As with all hospice palliative care services throughout New Zealand, the majority of their funding comes by way of grants and donations.

The Hospice Tairāwhiti fund with Sunrise supports our local branch to continue providing care for those who need them.
