Rangitāmiro Whānau Ora transition pānui

Ko te aroha te taukaea rangitāmiro i a tātou ki a tātou.

Love and care is the thread that binds us all together.

Kia whakarongo ake au ki te tangi a te manu nei, tui, tui, tui tuia.

Tuia te herenga tangata, ka rongo te pō, ka rongo te ao.

Tuia te muka tangata i takea mai i Hawaiki, i te Hono-i-wairua, ki te whai ao ki te mārama.

E kore te puna aroha e mimiti ki te hunga nā rātou i toro i te nukuroa o te puna hauora i ngā tau kua hori. E kore e mōnehunehu te pūmahara ki tō koutou mana nui, tapu nui, mana tiketike. Kei tua o te moana uriuri ko te awatea e whiti mai ana, e ao ko te rangitāmirotanga o ngā tātai hikohiko, e ao ko te rangtiāmirotanga o ngā tātai whakapapa, mā te rangitāmiro i te muka tangata e torokaha ake ai!

‘Rangitāmiro’ is the twisting together of threads and fibres into one strong rope so that it becomes unbreakable. It metaphorically depicts the binding of lineage, the binding of love, the binding of thoughts and the binding of people.

Rangitāmiro is honoured to build on the strong foundations of the Whānau Ora commissioning collective who came before us and to look forward to working alongside you to continue the mahi of this important kaupapa.

Rangitāmiro is a collaborative made up of National Hauora Coalition, Ngaa Pou Hauora oo Taamaki Makaurau Iwi Maaori Partnership Board and Te Tiratū Iwi Māori Partnership Board.

By intertwining the fibres of our people together, we are strengthened. Rangitāmiro is privileged to have the opportunity to embody these words of our tūpuna and strive forward with the ancient knowledge that there is no mana greater than the mana of looking after others – manaaki tangata.

As we prepare for this transition, our priority is to engage with you as a Whānau Ora provider to plan for the future of Whānau Ora together, to provide assurance, and continued support for whānau with the utmost integrity.

Rangitāmiro invites you to connect with us in the way that suits you best, either via email, ā-kōrero with our team, or at an online collective provider hui.

Please reply to rangitamiro@nhc.maori.nz with your preferred method of engagement by Friday 28th March, 3:00 pm so we can begin this transition together and answer any questions you may have. If you do not wish to engage with us, please also let us know.
