Te Piki Oranga’s new Whakatū Hauora Hub at 199 Nayland Rd officially opened to whānau and the public on January 12 with a pōwhiri and guided tours.
The renovated and refurbished building (formerly Otumarama rest home and hospital), houses staff and services from the organisation’s offices and hauora hubs in Bishopdale and Richmond, which closed in late December 2025 to allow for relocation.
With its whānau rooms and clinical spaces, the new hauora hub will, in time, also house a birthing suite as an additional Te Puāwai he Kākano health service.
The new hub is a transformative move for hauora Māori services in Tauihu. Te Kāhui Hauora acknowledge the vision and drive of Te Piki Oranga kaimahi and the Board of iwi representatives.
