Her work in Māori health includes being the managing director of Te Kohao Health and an executive member of Te Ohu Rata O Aotearoa - the Māori Medical Practitioners Association.
She has also been involved in the education space establishing kōhanga reo; is the chairwoman of the National Urban Maori Authority; served as a barrister and solicitor in Hamilton, specialising in Māori land law, civil and Treaty jurisprudence; has been involved in the Waitangi Tribunal and is an active voice in speaking about issues in Oranga Tamariki.
As part of the Waitangi Tribunal Primary care Wai 2575 Treaty claim group, she is passionate about the establishment of a standalone Māori health authority. She is also passionate about whanau-led initiatives.
"It's important for Māori to participate in the provision of health services as well as social services, justice services, education, the whole lot because they all impact on each other."
Te Kohao health – a Whanau Ora centre - has grown from 17 staff to about 250 in her time there.
"Health is a warm home, it's good kai on the table, it's warm clothing, a good uniform and shoes.
"We need to look at health in this broader sense, not just a clinical sense."
The awards this year were set to be the biggest since they began in 2016 with more than 500 people set to attend the event at Spark Arena in Auckland. However due to Covid-19 restrictions, they have been postponed until further notice.
Moxon feels honoured to be a finalist for the award which she didn't know she was nominated for until she found out she was a finalist.
