Health Te Aroha started in the late 1990’s. Tertius Coetzer and Paul Henry amalgamated three of the four solo practices in Te Aroha into one practice and named it Health Te Aroha. This practice moved into a purpose built building in 2001 where it has stayed until today.
During this time we brought pharmacy, pathlab, physio and the dentist into the building. We also offer specialist appointments, a midwife and diabetes nurse specialist.
In 2005 Brendon Eade joined the practice and Health Te Aroha was first given CORNERSTONE accreditation the year after in 2006.
Hayley Scott then joined the practice as a GP in 2007, becoming a director in 2010.
In 2012 we became one of the first privately owned practices in Midlands Health Network to adopt the Health Care Home. This change is now well embedded in the practice.
In December 2016 we said farewell to Paul Henry as he retired from the practice, and Melissa Titterton who joined us as a GP in 2014, stepped up to full time to take over his patients.
We currently have 5500 patients and we offer care to the local community, covering the local rest homes, the community trust hospital and also college clinics.
Since 2006 the practice has been active in teaching. We take fourth and sixth year medical students and also have registrars engaged in their education at the practice.
We are a practice that is quality focussed and enjoys innovation and being at the forefront of general practice.
The practice has prided itself on performing well in the quality plan with Midlands Health. In 2016 we achieved first place in the PHO for our quality performance.
