What we want to achieve
Extended after-hours healthcare for the Upper Clutha
We need to feel safe in the knowledge that there is help at hand 24/7 should we need it.
Free blood collection in Wānaka
People elsewhere in New Zealand get their blood tests for free. So should we.
A fully publicly funded hospital within one hour's drive of Wānaka
Our community is growing and we need to plan for the future now.
