New GP Practice to join Toka Hāpai Selwyn Health Hub
Phoenix Healthcare will provide a full spectrum of services, including routine check-ups, care for minor injuries and illnesses, ACC claims, health services across all ages, vaccinations, and repeat prescriptions. Phoenix Healthcare National Health Manager, Chenoa Walker, says being a part of the Toka Hāpai Selwyn Health Hub goes beyond just setting up a new GP service. “This is about thinking ahead and being where the community needs us most. It’s also about weaving ourselves into the very fabric of our community and being accessible. By working with the Selwyn District Council and our fellow health providers at the Selwyn Health Hub, we will be offering GP healthcare that sits alongside other health services
for patients, under the one roof,” she says. Mayor Sam Broughton says the selection of Phoenix Healthcare is an exciting announcement for the community. “The health hub was an ambitious project; we identified a need and stepped up outside of what councils usually do, to provide for our community. We’ve been really grateful for the support of Te Whatu Ora throughout that process. “We hear regularly from our community about the desire for more General Practices in Selwyn and as one of the fastest growing districts in the country that need will only grow. I’m delighted to have Phoenix Healthcare on board to provide a much needed service that we know our community is ready to embrace.” Work is now being carried out on the fit-out requirements for installing the General Practice space in the building. The aim is to have the service open in late 2024.
