Our Partners
National Hauora Coalition (NHC)
NHC is our primary healthcare organization or PHO and they provide us with the government funds to offer low cost care to our patients. NHC is a Maori PHO with medical centres across the whole of the North Island. McLaren Health specifically chose an alliance with NHC because of their underlying philosophy.
The NHC has always had a philosophy of providing maximum funds to help patients have access to affordable healthcare, while at the same time providing systems to help achieve excellence in patient care. NHC provides software support for McLaren Health to help us achieve health targets and also provide additional funding to make health care low cost or free for many patients with ongoing health challenges (such as diabetes, heart disease to name a few)
We have enjoyed a long relationship with NHC spanning over 15 years and we continue to move forward into a better future for us all. See their website for more: https://www.nhc.maori.nz/
