Thank you for visiting our Internet site. Tihewa Mauriora is no longer a Primary Health Organisation, in line with the Minister of Health's request to reduce the number of PHO's the enrolled population of Broadway Health Centre are now supported by Te Tai Tokerau PHO
PHOs are organisations that plan, coordinate and pay for health care in the community. PHOs always involve General Practice services and are increasingly involving other providers such as community nurses, pharmacists, dentists and other health care groups.
PHOs will provide all the services you are used to but also aim to improve health by:
Being enrolled with a PHO means that funding is made available to your family medical centre to care for you and your family/whanau. Depending on your age and where you live, you can access cheaper doctor visits and pharmacy prescriptions
Enrolment takes place at your usual family medical centre - the staff there will talk with you about enrolment, what it involves and what it means for you and your family/whanau.
Remember that you can only enrol with one medical centre. If you choose to visit an alternative medical centre you will not be eligible to receive the cheaper fees and this will result in your family medical centre incurring a charge for that visit.
