Te Whatu Ora Waitaha | Canterbury Pānui Monday 18 March 2024In this edition of Te Whatu Ora Waitaha | Canterbury Pānui

Christchurch’s new community birthing unit Kurawaka: Waipapa celebrated a milestone last Friday, with guests gathering for a moving blessing ceremony ahead of the formal opening next month. We also bump into musician Jordan Luck, who was at Burwood Hospital recently to judge some amazing cupcakes, as part of activities to mark Brain Awareness Week.

In One minute with… we meet Allied Health Assistant Stephen Southcombe who is working to support consumers in the community, building skills and enhancing their quality of life. There’s also news about a colourful mural taking shape in Christchurch, that’s helping to raise funds for the Bone Marrow Cancer Trust’s Ranui House.
