Heartbeats is a community-based cardiac support group for heart event survivors, their families and whanau.
It is supported by the Cardiac Rehabilitation Unit at the North Shore Hospital and also works closely with the Heart Foundation NZ.
We are very inclusive and welcome ALL heart event survivors to come along and learn about heart disease and heart health management from the experiences of those who are on the same journey.
Heartbeats meets at the Mary Thomas Centre, 3 Gibbons Rd, Takapuna, on the first THURSDAY of each month, at 10:00am and we have regular guest speakers from the medical, pharmacy, physiotherapy and psychotherapy/counselling healthcare communities.
NEXT MEETING is Thursday the 6th May, at the Mary Thomas Centre, and our guest speaker is one of Auckland's leading dietitians, Anna Sloan, Reg. Dietitian, who will be discussing heart healthy diets and the important nutrients for heart health after a heart event: as well as the impact of medications in our dietary requirements.
Come along, bring a friend, and learn how to deal with and manage your heart health journey!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
87% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
13% No. This would be impossible in practice.
