Wellington Hospitals Foundation

Wellington Hospitals Foundation is the official charity for the hospitals operated by HealthNZ Te Whatu Ora - Capital, Coast and Hutt Valley.

To maintain excellence and meet the ever-growing demands of modern healthcare, our hospitals rely on the support of the local community. But doesn’t the Government fund healthcare?

Yes… and no. We are lucky in New Zealand to have free healthcare, but funding isn’t limitless.

Community funding is essential for addressing the funding gaps that hospitals face in delivering high quality healthcare services. With the generous support of our community we are able to:

o invest in medical equipment that helps keep pace with technology,

o fund projects that help create comfortable spaces for patients and their families; and

o provide a wide range of resources and services that supports patients and their families on their journey to good health.
