History
The Hokianga health service and the Hokianga Hospital have a long and rich history
The first Hokianga Hospital was sited at the old Harp of Erin Hotel in Russell Esplanade The first documented reference to the Rawene Cottage Hospital is in the statistics of Whangarei Hospital Expenditure 19031905 The hospital has been functioning from its present site on a high hill above the township of Rawene since its opening on 3 June 1909
The story of Hokiangas health services is a tribute to the character and tenacity of a host of people who for over a century have built a remarkable health service It is a story of achievement innovation determination and above all of unity
There are many exceptional people who have contributed to the unique Hokianga model of care from the pioneers who instigated the service and engendered the vision to those who have fought through successive challenges of beureaucracy and government
From the opening of the hospital in 1909 through to the development of the integrated Primary Health Organisation of today with its extensive and up to date premises it is the strength of the Hokianga community which has underpinned the Hokianga health services
There is no doubt that Hauora Hokianga services are the strong and thriving success they are today due to the visions of the legendary Dr George McCall Smith and the equally passionate people who followed in his footsteps
