South Taranaki Rural Health
At the end of 2019 an enhanced rural model of care called South Taranaki Rural Health (STRH) was proposed for the South Taranaki community. STRH aims to improve health outcomes through a focus on high quality, accessible, sustainable and culturally responsive primary and community services.
While current hospital services will remain available to the community, implementation of STRH is now underway.

South Taranaki Rural Health General Practice (the Practice)
The Practice is open to both enrolled and walk-in patients that need primary health care services. While all patients are welcome, if you’re already enrolled at another clinic, your usual doctor will be more familiar with any ongoing health issues you may have. Therefore we recommend you try to book an appointment there first for continuity of health care.
