We are proud to be the home of Aoteroa's only refugee-led health programme.
One of our priorities is to work with the New Zealand health system to reduce the impacts of chronic disease. We know that as well as optimising healthcare, it is critical to shift the balance towards improving health and wellbeing to create a healthier more sustainable health system here in Aotearoa.
The team here at HOW² are committed to working in partnership across government, communities and other sectors to address the underlying factors that drive chronic ill-health through collaborative, evidence-based and community-focused action.
Together, we can get people well & keep them well.
