GOVERNANCE
“Tūhoe Hauora, from a Board perspective is clear about operations and governance.
Our Chief Executive Officer, Pania Hetet leads her team and the Board provides support.
Tūhoe Hauora is about people first… The well-being of all aspects of a person, of a whānau, of a people is paramount. As we evolve, so too do our values, kaupapa and tikanga. In this, we endeavour to communicate all our kaupapa with respect, integrity, dignity and understanding regardless of age, gender or relationship.
Primarily, we provide mental health, medical and health, welfare services and support to Tūhoe and also the wider community.
We encourage leadership, positivity, sensitivity, forte and working with others to get the best results for our tangata whaiora, tūroro and whānau.
Te Tiriti o Waitangi helps us to measure our own cultural quality in how we participate, partner up with and also protect our people. People first…
We try to do it right the first time or we learn how to do it right the next time!”
