Local Health is 100% owned and operated by healthcare professionals in the Manawatū region.
We’ve been supporting general practices since 2016. Originally known as The Feilding Health Care Group, we recently rebranded to Local Health to better represent all our practices and 30,000 patients across the Manawatū region.
We provide a sustainable option for practice owners looking for more support, reduced hours, a reliable salary or a future pathway to retirement, while making sure all patients continue to receive high-quality care.
Your patients will continue to receive the same high-quality care from familiar faces alongside additional access to our integrated services like radiology, physiotherapy, mental health, and blood collection. Your practice will continue to deliver GP services to your community, with continuity of care if you choose to reduce your hours or take some time off.
Your team is an important part of your practice, and many of the staff who work at practices that have joined us have chosen to stay working with Local Health. With any new organisation there are changes, but we provide wrap around support and professional development to make the transition as easy as possible.
No – joining Local Health will reduce your administrative load. Our support team handles much of the non-clinical workload, allowing you to focus on patient care rather than paperwork.
We are currently focused on serving Manawatū – the region we know, live and work in.
Yes. We want to keep general practices locally owned and operated by people who live and work in our communities.
We’re always on the lookout for great people to join our team. We give professionals at all stages of their career the opportunity to grow, learn from other experienced practitioners and enjoy flexible working arrangements; including sick leave, annual leave, and professional development.
