Ora Toa PHO offers a diverse range of services to enable timely and least intrusive access to appropriate care. All our medical and dental services are very low cost (although our Pōneke practice does not receive VLCA funding) and all our other health services are free. We operate our own dental service at our Cannons Creek site, targeting under 18 year olds not accessing free dental care. We run our own free community gym, where our GPs and nurses refer clients. We run open clinics at our community health service sites where no appointments are needed to ensure flexibility and we can provide transport if required.
We have multi-disciplinary teams within our PHO including community teams (nurses, community health workers), podiatry, dental, physio, medical, nursing, mental health, nutrition/physical activity – gym referrals, midwives on site, hearing van, kaiarahi, outreach immunisations, group education sessions, tamariki ora – wellchild services, cervical and breast screening follow-up. Our community health team directly supports the practices by providing health education, transport, advocacy and whānau ora services. They also provide clinical community nursing activities ie. diabetes follow-up.
