End of Summer Issue 4 - March 2018
Kia ora, Kia orana, Talofa & Hello
Welcome to our end of summer Midland Mental Health & Addiction e-Newsletter.
It has been a busy beginning of 2018 with hot, humid and stormy weather. We celebrate all the success that we have achieved across the region so far.
Values are a large part of what drives an organisation and the values are reflected by us, the staff. As a region, each of our DHBs have developed values that reflect the communities that they serve, check out their websites for more information.
