Te Puna Hauora serves clients from Devonport to Whangaparoa (& Wellsford). Within these areas there exists a considerable population of people who traditionally suffer from health inequalities i.e. people with lower socio-economic status, Maori, Pacific Islanders, immigrant and refugee groups etc. People within these groups tend to have ongoing issues with their health and wellbeing - physical, mental, and social.

Te Puna was established as a Maori Health provider to address these issues by providing high quality, accessible and affordable care and support. An alternative to ‘mainstream’ services, Te Puna has grown remarkably and currently has over 7000 enrolled clients.

At the core of Te Puna’s unique service delivery is the IMAP model. The IMAP model evolved to meet the needs of the community – establishing an integrated model of service delivery addressing more than the biological/medical issues in health and wellbeing.

In 2004, Te Puna Hauora was awarded the Ministry of Health Supreme Award for Best Whanau Ora programme and the Matarau Supreme Award for Best Maori Health Provider in NZ. These awards reflect the innovation inherent in our service delivery and the commitment to the health of the community we serve.
