We provide and fund health services to about 140,000 people in the lower North Island of New Zealand. We are proud to serve our multi-cultural community and we're proud of the work we do to improve their health. Hutt Hospital, operated by the Hutt Valley District Health Board, is New Zealand's first and only Magnet designated hospital, putting it among the elite American hospitals which hold the designation. We provide a range of health and well-being, hospital and specialist services based out of our Hutt Hospital campus and other district locations with more than 2400 full-time equivalent staff. We provide most secondary services, as well as being the tertiary centre for regional plastic, maxillofacial and burns services, the regional rheumatology and school dental services and the greater Wellington public health and breast screening services.
