Our Mission

To provide hope and dignity through exemplary care to patients and their families/whanau in partnership with fellow professionals.

Treaty of Waitangi Statement

Rotorua Hospice acknowledges the Treaty of Waitangi as a foundation document of New Zealand. In recognising the three principles of the Treaty – partnership, protection and participation, we will deliver our services at all levels of the organisation within the spirit of the Treaty.

Our Values

• Excellence – Delivering the best work possible with the available resources provided by competent, skilled, innovative, experienced, educated and cohesive team.
• Professionalism – Working with respect, integrity, honesty and accountability in all our actions with each other, with patients, families/whanau, carers, and other practitioners and for our community as a whole.
• Trust – In ourselves, in our team and in our community.
• Collaboration – Working in partnership with others using our resources in the most appropriate way in order to provide the best care and the most appropriate service.
• Care and Compassion – Guiding, supporting and providing care to patients and families coping with life limiting illness, that is both patient-centred and family/whanau focused.
• Responsiveness – Efficient equitable patient centred care that meets the needs and expectations of the community we serve.

Funding

Whilst completely free of charge for people using Hospice services, it costs a lot to provide. As an essential health provider, Rotorua Hospice receives funding from the Government but financial support from the community is essential to meet the shortfall.

In Rotorua we receive around 50% of funding from the DHB which leaves around a $1,000,000 shortfall. We rely on the support from the community to help fundraise through a range of activities; our retail shops, donations, grants, corporate partnerships and fundraising events.

Thank you for your support!
