In a
week where we celebrate our volunteers and our first
Matariki public holiday, Peter also acknowledges the end of
an era with the final Board meeting before our change to
Health New Zealand on 1 July.
Also, in this edition,
we celebrate a fourth Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative
accreditation for Te Hā o Te Ora l Kaikōura and all the
fun, colour and diversity that is Pride. There’s advice on
making your workstation more ergonomic, and The Family Help
Trust launches its Safer families Programme in Ashburton.
Finally, take a few minutes to read the memories of people
who worked, birthed or were born at Lincoln Maternity
Hospital.
Canterbury District Health Board (CDHB) is a Christchurch, New Zealand based hospital and healthcare provider for the
Canterbury region of New Zealand. Our region extends from Kekerengu in the North, to Rangitata in the South and Arthurs Pass in the West and comprises the six Territorial Local Authorities of Kaikoura, Hurunui, Waimakariri, Christchurch City, Selwyn and Ashburton.
We collaborate with other health and disability organisations, stakeholders and our community to decide what health and disability services are needed and how to best use the funding we receive from Government to improve, promote and protect the health, wellbeing and independence of our population.
At the Canterbury DHB, our vision is to improve the health and wellbeing of people living in Canterbury.
