Our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi

Our values are grounded in our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

This commitment guides how we work, how we partner, and how we provide care. It shapes our approach to equity, culturally safe practice, and accountability to Māori as tangata whenua.

Our vision

We honour living and dignify dying for all
He whakanui i te oranga, he whakamana i te matenga, mō te katoa

Our Mission

Mary Potter Hospice helps people make the most of their final months, weeks and days of life. Our specialist teams care for patients and their whānau with aroha and mana. We also support other health services to deliver palliative care.
