Thanks for making a difference

The generosity of people like you makes a real difference for those needing our health services.

Healthcare workers in Canterbury DHB are committed to providing patients with the best treatment and care during a time when they are at their most vulnerable. Staff are often thanked with a grateful smile and a handshake.

Sometimes patients and their whānau want to show their gratitude another way – such as making a donation, fundraising or leaving a legacy in their will. You can say ‘Thanks' with a donation, knowing that this will help others needing our healthcare system.

Your gift may also help to fund enhancements that might not otherwise happen – things that make a real difference for health services right here in Canterbury.
