The Health Team
The Aotea Health team work across Aotea Great Barrier Island and they are a part of this community. They live here, shop here, dine here, get coffee here and they socialise here.
That does not mean that they are on duty and available 24/7, but it does mean that they also face the same day-to-day challenges as everyone else, and they are also impacted by events that happen in this community.
Being involved in healthcare in a small community can present immense challenges, and even more so for those with long term roots here. The flip side to that though, is that the health team ‘knows’ nearly every resident on the island, and can quickly respond to their health needs.
Aotea Health contracts and employs, Doctors, Nurses and Nurse Practitioners, Health Coaches, Awhi Ora, Healthcare Assistant, Administrators as well as the peripheral contributors such as IT and Support.
