Exciting times... Ngatea is growing, and we're growing with it!
Something new is taking shape at Ngatea Pharmacy!
Our new (2nd) private consultation room is coming together, and we're excited about what this means for healthcare in our community.
As Ngatea grows, we want to grow alongside it — offering more healthcare services and making it easier for people to access care closer to home.
We're proud to have the support of Health New Zealand and the Townshend-Thomas Charitable Trust as we work towards improving access to healthcare in our rural community. Rural healthcare is firmly on all our radars, and it's encouraging to see that shared commitment turning into action.
Our new room will help us expand the services we can offer, including Nurse Consultations, travel health, vaccinations, wound care, Virtial TeleHealth and other healthcare appointments. There's more to come, and we'll share details as everything gets ready.
A huge thank you to Louden Construction for making the building work so straightforward. The job was completed in less than two days over the weekend, helping minimise disruption to our pharmacy and our customers. We really appreciate the fast, efficient work!
The room isn't quite ready yet, but we're getting closer. Watch this space!
More healthcare. Right here in Ngatea.
