Description
Koiora is an inter-disciplinary health & wellbeing service in Rotorua.
Koiora provides a service that is hope-inspiring, strengths-driven, and encourages people to improve their health and lead fulfilling lives and contribute meaningfully to their communities and society more broadly.
We do this through a focus on:

- Integrating with other health services and agencies such as MSD and Dept of Corrections
- Providing responsive care delivery
- Supporting enrolment into General Practice
