Meeting the needs of patients and families
Patients in the community
Hospice Taranaki offers a comprehensive hospice palliative care service.
Our services are free to all patients and their caregivers, thanks to the generosity of the people in the community who make donations, support the HospiceShops and leave bequests to help meet costs.
