Putting people at the centre of health care is crucial, and environment plays a critical role in patients recovery.

One of the largest investments in New Zealand’s mental health infrastructure in history, Hillmorton Hospital has opened two state-of-the-art mental health facilities.

Boasting a welcoming and supportive atmosphere for patients, this facility is a home away from home. Inpatients have their own rooms, with outpatient and whanau spaces. Staff morale has also skyrocketed.

Furthermore, in a city that’s undergone more than its share of challenges, the new facility demonstrates in bricks and mortar the resilience of Cantabrians.
