Hospice New Zealand are doing plenty of good in the hood.
Z has selected it as one of 10 national organisations to receive a share of $700,000 from the energy company's Good in the Hood promotion. Hospice New Zealand is actively involved in research and education, workforce development, establishing standards of healthcare, providing information and advice to hospices, stakeholders and the public, and helping and supporting hospices nationwide.
Taranaki Hospice is one of four local organisations Stratford can vote for in this year's promotion.
Chief executive Paul Lamb says the hospice is the only provider of palliative and end-of-life care in the region.
