The Trust:

​

In 1994 Waikato Hospital announced it was closing Te Aroha Hospital and Lawrence House Rest Home.

​

A public meeting was held and it was decided the Community would take over the facilities and from this a Trust was formed to run the business.

​

The name of the Trust was Te Aroha and District Health Services Charitable Trust. The official opening of the new venture took place in December 1996.

​

The Trust employ a Clinical Facility Manager to provide leadership and management of the Facility following the strategic direction of the Trust Board and the standards required of such a facility.

​

The Trust has enjoyed the financial and voluntary support from the Community who have always supported the Board of Trustees and the staff.

​

The generosity of our community enables the Trust to maintain and update equipment and our facility. We are very fortunate to receive donations from members, donations from community groups and grants from various lotteries. We truly appreciate and thank all who contribute.

​

We usually have a project or two in process, and  2024 / 2025 is a busy time. We were fortunate to receive a Grant from The Lion Foundation which is enabling the refurbishment of the kitchen at Lawrence House and our Ward Kitchen in the main hospital ward.
