Opportunity to back world-leading health research in Waikato
The Waikato is a centre for world-leading health research, thanks in part to the work of the Waikato Medical Research Foundation.
The population of the Waikato is young, growing and diverse, with its own distinct health challenges and inequities, particularly amongst rural, Maaori and Pasifika communities. The Foundation's purpose is to provide seed funding for robust and ethical research into medical and health care that can bridge inequity gaps and improve health outcomes across the board.
Their decision to set up the ‘Waikato Medical Research Foundation Fund’ at Momentum Waikato is all about making it easier for the public to contribute towards the success of the health research sector in the region.
“We are in a position to help make advances right here that have the potential to improve health for the people of the Waikato, and around the globe,” says Foundation Chair Gillian Spry.
“That’s pretty exciting and interesting. We invite people to donate and, through our newsletter, join us in learning about the amazing research work going on here in the Waikato.”
Waikato Hospital needs to be open about mistakes
EDITORIAL: For all the travails assailing public hospitals, transparency should not be one of them.
Hospitals used to own up to their mistakes in a very public fashion. Each year they published a list of “Sentinel Events” — the most serious incidents involving patient harm.
That window of openness has slammed shut.

Childrens Arts Therapy
Children’s art therapy gives your child a safe, calm place to express emotions, build confidence, and develop resilience through creative activity. Our children’s art therapy sessions support kids who experience worries, stress, social challenges, or big emotions, offering steady guidance and space to explore at their own pace.
These small-group sessions are designed for children who benefit from a peaceful environment where they can make art, talk about their feelings, and try new ways to solve problems. Each week blends creativity and wellbeing in a warm, supportive setting. Many families find art therapy especially helpful during times of change, pressure at school, or emotional overwhelm.
