  • CEO UPDATE in This Issue
    CEO UPDATE 4 February 2019 A double celebration to mark the official opening of Christchurch Outpatients and Manawa, the health research and education facility We were honoured last Thursday to have three Cabinet Ministers, and hundreds of invited guests – including staff and consumers who had been involved in the development of two landmark buildings in Te Papa Hauora | The Health Precinct – to officially open the new Outpatients and Manawa facilities. It was a fantastic celebratory event. The Minister of Health, the Honourable Dr David Clark was ably assisted by the Minister for Greater Christchurch Regeneration, the Honourable Dr Megan Woods as they jointly cut the ribbon to mark the official opening of Christchurch Outpatients. The Honourable Chris Hipkins, Minister of Education, and Minister Clark jointly drew back the curtains to reveal the sign marking the entrance to Manawa, signifying the partnership and collaboration between health and education. Ministers Megan Woods and David Clark cut the ribbon to officially open Christchurch Outpatients For those who weren’t there, you missed some great speeches where the Canterbury Health System received high praise for our collaborative and innovative approaches to both design, and finding new ways of working together with our partners – whether it’s another organisation, or involving consumers in the design process. In his speech, Minister Clark recognised that Canterbury has faced some of the toughest challenges of any DHB because of the massive impacts of the earthquakes since 2010. He reminded us that in a few weeks it will be eight years since the devastating 22 February quake and acknowledged the dedication and commitment of Canterbury Health System staff who continue to provide high quality health and disability services to our community, despite facing challenges at work and home Ministers David Clark and Chris Hipkins offcially open the new due to the ongoing impact of the quakes.
