A Word From Chief Executive Peter Bramley
In the last CEO Update (as we know it) before the change to Health New Zealand, Peter reflects on Canterbury DHB and shares the goals of the new health system. These include more equitable and accessible healthcare that is cohesive and responsive to people of all communities.
Also, in this edition, as we look forward to a new change, three of our longest-serving staff members share some fascinating memories of their careers with Canterbury DHB and before. We celebrate some of our DHB and community volunteers recognised for their service during Te Wiki Tūao ā-Motu (National Volunteer Week), and we get tips and reminders about how to protect ourselves from colds, flu and viruses and stay well this winter.
