Note from Director, Dr Colin Hutchison
Kaweka Hospital has been established by Hawke’s Bay clinicians for the people of Hawke’s Bay. We are here to provide our community with more healthcare, which is delivered in a timely manner and is of the highest quality. We believe this will be achieved by having an empowered, happy team and we are excited to be working with a wide group of partner organisations and stakeholders to help make this happen.
