Join us in our final reimagining session for 2024, as we look to reimagine cardiovascular health services in Porirua to become more suitable for our communities!

All participants will receive vouchers as a compensation for your time and kōrero/talanoa/discussion.

If you meet the criteria below, register with us now:

• Have lived experiences with cardiovascular related health concerns such as heart disease, stroke, or TIA (mini stroke).

• Currently reside in Porirua.

We are looking for up to 12 passionate Porirua community members who have lived with cardiovascular related concerns or know someone who has, to be part of a focus group.

The goal of this workshop is to facilitate community-driven change and have input into re-designing the delivery of cardiovascular health services through their own personal experiences.

That’s right people of Porirua, we've got heaps of talent in our community, and that's just the vibe we need! It's all about bringing people together to celebrate the awesome talent we've got right here in Porirua.
