Tihei Mauri Ora!
I choose nursing as a career because I want to walk along side Whanau on their journey to ultimate hauora. This does not just include physical health, this includes every aspect of their lives including, wairua, kai, tupuna, mahi, kura and whanau. Na te reira e hari ahau when whanau take control of their hauora, they are empowered, they are their own healers.
Here at Te Hau Awhiowhio o Otangarei Hauora, I work alongside like minded mana-tangata who like myself, have whanau ora at the center of all the mahi that we do.
He Waka Eke Noa!
Tuuturu whakamaua kia tina! tina!
Haumi e! Hui e! Taiki e!
