About Us

Te Puna Manawa HealthWEST Limited is a Non-Government Organisation (NGO) with Registered Māori Status based in Henderson, West Auckland. As an NGO, we believe in empowering our community to take responsibility for their health and well-being through support, education, professionalism, respect, and integrity. 

We provide free innovative community and primary health, social and whānau ora services across the Greater Auckland region, focusing on Māori, Pacific, tamariki, rangatahi, whānau and other high-needs populations.

Embracing and supporting the concepts behind Whānau Ora through a number of integrated joint ventures with local District Health Boards and Primary Care Providers, Te Puna Manawa HealthWEST can assist and empower the West and North Auckland community to take responsibility for their own health and well-being by providing information and pathways to clinical, justice, education and social services, by promoting a healthy lifestyle and supporting healthy lifestyle choices and positive change.

Te Puna Manawa HealthWEST believes that the solution does not lie solely within the individual but also through the people around them, their Whānau. By working together with Whānau, Te Puna Manawa HealthWEST gains a greater understanding of the life challenges faced by the community and how best to develop an action plan to minimise, resolve or adapt to these challenges.
