Whaiora - Whaiora 394 Queen Street
About Whaiora
Our Story
The kaupapa for Whaiora was first considered in 1996 at a hui at Papawai Marae, Greytown. Ngāti Moe hapu, led by Janice Wenn (pictured) and Kim Workman, structured a proposal for a 'by Māori for Māori' community-based health service for the Wairarapa. Initially, this service was named Whaiora Whanui. It was developed under the umbrella of the Ngāti Kahungunu Māori Executive, Taiwhenua (NKMET).
Charitable Trust: In December 2000 the hapu members of NKMET Board gave Whaiora Whanui the mandate to become our own autonomous entity. Whaiora Whanui Trust registered as a Charitable Trust on 13 December 2000.
Community Services: Whaiora has delivered a range of health and social services within the Wairarapa community since its inception. We are a Whānau Ora Lead Provider. In addition, we were instrumental in the establishment of Ko Te Aroha Early Childhood Education Centre.
Whaiora Medical Centre: Whaiora Medical Centre was established in 2010 to provide affordable healthcare. It is Wairarapa’s only Very Low Cost Access (VLCA) General Practice.
Māori Health Workforce Development: Whaiora is a strong advocate for nurturing our upcoming clinical and social service workforce. We regularly host student placements, including medical students from the University of Otago, New Zealand. We have also hosted medical students from Glasgow University, Scotland. In 2016, Whaiora was approved as a Teaching Centre for Registrars. Whaiora and Te Hauora Runanga o Wairarapa also host dental students from the Otago School of Dentistry. We acknowledge Kevin Wong’s Dental Clinic for their support and supervision of these students.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Dr Katie was amazing! She started our appointment with questions around how I was feeling about returning to life after lockdown andcworked through to my medical issues after that. She was incredibly thorough. I am really impressed with her awesome personal and caring service. It is great to find a medical centre that treats the 'whole you' and looks at preventitive planning and early detection. Thank you Whaiora!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Unfortunately I have to give a bad review.. While the reception staff are very friendly, I've called in three times now and told I'd get a call back... The first time no one called me back, I called in the next day and was told I'd get a call back, I waited hours and decided to call again, they didn't put my name down for a call back if I didn't call them again I wouldn't have heard back... Called them yesterday and got no call back from the doctor. Pretty frustrating when it's an urgent matter and I don't have a vehicle to go to the hospital. Another time I took my 2 month baby in nd the nurse wasn't interested in helping her colic, she sent us off with nothing, not even any sympathy for us but instead was trying to push us to get her vaccinated when that's not even what we came in for. Very frustrating and disappointing.
