Aramoho Health Centre – Great People, Great Care
Aramoho Health Centre (AHC) is committed to the bicultural and bilingual status of Aotearoa. We stand by the principles of partnership, participation, and protection as enshrined in Te Tiriti o Waitangi. AHC’s aim is to improve the health and health equity outcomes of Māori and all New Zealanders, regardless of race, beliefs, or origin.
We live and breathe Whanganui and support the tikanga of all the people that make our town great, including our Rainbow community. Everyone has the right to be treated fairly and with respect, and those who do not have a voice should look to those who do to defend their rights.
AHC respects and enables all tangata to have agency over their own health outcomes. We acknowledge the persistent and systemic inequities within the health system and aspire to lead transformative change and foster an aspirational culture.
Meeting the needs of our community by providing timely, efficient, quality healthcare.
