About Local Health

“Since retiring, it has been reassuring to have this option when stepping away from my role as a GP practice owner. I had peace of mind knowing that my practice would remain in good hands under a sound business model, and that my patients could continue to enjoy receiving the high-quality care they deserve”.

Tim Linton

Former Owner and Doctor, Palmerston North Awapuni Medical

"Local Health opened Ashhurst Health Care in 2022, after being 15 years without a local Dr in our community. Partnering with Local Health was the perfect fit as they share our community-focused mindset and understand the importance of a tailored approach to local healthcare."

Richard Tankersley

Ashhurst Community Trust Chairman

“Local Health has made our job easier and better for our patients. If we run short on something or need advice, there's always someone to call. It's like we're part of a bigger team, even though we're in our own practice. Our patients notice our changes - the care feels more connected now with our unwell patients being able to be seen by their Doctor as needed."

Practice Manager, Palmerston North Group Medical
