We are focussed on recognising and responding to the social, cultural, recreational and educational needs of the Glenfield/ Kaipātiki community, and finding ways to meet these needs with special recognition for those who have the least opportunity to participate in decision-making in the community.

We provide rooms within the Centre for the community to hire in order to run community-focussed workshops, seminars, training and support networks. We act as a referral point for information, administer and maintain the facility, and liaise with other organisations to raise awareness about issues affecting our local community.

We do this through innovative research, workforce development, public health planning, information technology solutions and policy development. Along with our subcontractors or whanau whanui, we also deliver on public health issues including tobacco control, problem gambling, alcohol and other drug harm minimisation, wellchild, nutrition and physical activity.

The Health Navigator NZ website is a non-profit community initiative combining the efforts of a wide range of partner and supporter organisations overseen by the Health Navigator Charitable Trust.

The Health Navigator website provides one place for New Zealanders to find reliable and trustworthy health information and self care resources. It focuses on promoting clear, consistent messages that enable users to get the information they need at the time they need it.

Simplify the process of finding trusted and reliable health information.

Equip you and your family with information, tools and resources that help you make better decisions and choices to maximise your health and quality of life.

Improve the quality of health information used by New Zealanders by developing a quality framework and minimum standards for all linked resources.

Improve accessibility of reliable self-care/self help information to support shared decision making, patient autonomy, self-determination and encourage patient activation and sharing of responsibility in ongoing health care.

Improve patient safety by promoting clinical excellence and upskilling consumers such as staying alert to anything that doesn’t seem right.

Encourage and facilitate increased understanding and use of self management tools, resources and principles within both primary and secondary care.

Support the practical implementation of evidence based clinical guidelines by making them more available at the point of care.

Support individuals and families with positive behaviour change through access to evidence based online tools, resources, self-help programmes and support groups.
