We care for 1 in 3 people who die in our community
Harbour Hospice provides specialist, palliative care for families and whānau living in the Hibiscus Coast, North Shore and Warkworth/Wellsford communities.
We provide compassionate care, free of charge, working with patients, families, whānau and carers in their homes, and within our three hospice sites.
From nursing and medical care, counselling, social work, cultural and spiritual support, physiotherapy, day groups, training programmes and more, our goal is to help people live every moment in whatever way is important to them.
It doesn’t matter who you are, what you believe in or where you live, Hospice care is free for you.
We are partly funded by Te Whatu Ora - Waitematā (previously named Waitematā District Health Board) for 50.6% of our operating costs, so we rely heavily on the generosity of our communities to keep services free and meet current and future needs.
Our team of fundraisers, retail specialists and dedicated volunteers work hard to raise money for services through events, donations and our retail shops.
The kind and generous support of our community is the reason we can keep our care and support free of charge for the rapidly growing number of patients, families and whānau who need it.
This incredible support makes a significant difference, helping people young and old to live well until they die.
Kia hora te marino, kia whakapapa pounamu te moana, kia tere te kārohirohi i mua i tou huarahi, ā, ko tou hoa haere ko te rangimarie
May the calm be widespread, may the ocean glisten like greenstone, may the shimmer of light dance across your pathway and may peace itself be your travelling companion
