Māia Health Foundation is the official charity of Health NZ (Canterbury).

We've helped to fund a large future-proofed rooftop helipad for Christchurch Hospital Hagley, enhancements for the new children’s facilities, improvements at Burwood Spinal Unit, and other projects that without community fundraising may simply not have happened.

Thanks for making a difference

The generosity of people like you makes a real difference for those needing our health services.
