About Te Hau Ora O Ngāpuhi (THOON)

Te Hau Ora O Ngāpuhi, also known as THOON, was established in 2015 as a subsidiary company of Te Rūnanga-Ā-Iwi-Ō-Ngāpuhi (TRAION) following the merger of Te Hauora o Kaikohe with TRAION.

THOON is charged with leading the health strategy for Ngapuhi, serving whānau, hapū and hāpori living within Te Whare Tapu O Ngāpuhi, whether Māori or non Māori.

The strategic direction for THOON is aligned to the Rūnanga’s vision, mission statement, Whanau Ora strategy, and the desire for safe and healthy communities where whānau thrive.

Based in the main centre of Kaikohe, THOON delivers programmes that contribute to achieving optimal outcomes for whānau. They serve whānau within Te Whare Tapu o Ngāpuhi iwi boundaries, covering the middle Far North from South Hokianga through to Mangakāhia, across to the Bay Of Islands and down to the South-Western Whangārei district. Kaikohe is the main centre visited by whānau.
