Poll: Have you or has someone you know used the renal centre?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

A squash club has given way to a kidney centre at Waikato Hospital in a $44.4 million project that’s been called “mana affirming” for patients.

The Waikato Regional Renal Centre has brought over 100 clinical staff under one roof - kidney specialists, nurses, clinical nurse specialists for dialysis education and transplant, psychologists, kaitiaki, podiatrists, social workers, and dieticians.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
