Our Mahitahi Hauora Story

Kanohi kitea | Locally placed for wellbeing and health outcomes that matter to you

 

Mahitahi Hauora was established in 2019, bringing together two former Northland primary health organisations – Manaia Health PHO and Te Tai Tokerau PHO (both founded in 2003) – to create one unified organisation to service Northland.

The merger reflected a shared commitment by general practice, Māori health providers, iwi and the wider health sector to work differently – together – to improve health outcomes for our people and communities.

Hauora means health, and Mahitahi means working together as one, and that spirit continues to guide everything we do.

We are proudly local for locals. Our team lives and works in Te Tai Tokerau, with offices in Whangārei and Kaitaia. We have longstanding local relationships, strong local knowledge, and a clear understanding of the needs of our communities, so we can support better health outcomes for Northland’s whānau and communities.
