Who can use Hospice Services?
People eligible for publically funded health services in New Zealand, who have a life-limiting illness and their family/friends/whanau who could benefit from the free clinical service suite that Hospice provides. Our services can be provided in the home, as Day Hospice care, in our Inpatient Unit and at our outpatient clinic.
