Mission
Mary Potter Hospice provides specialist palliative care services, free of charge, for the people of Wellington, Porirua and Kapiti. We care for people and their family or whanau, where a person’s illness cannot be cured, is getting worse and faced with a limited time to live.
What we Do
We seek to be alongside, supporting and assisting their quality of life, their dying and their bereavement. In the last year we provided care and support for 869 patients and their families living with a life limiting illness.
Our vision is that people in our communities who need palliative care have access to compassionate and and quality care, when and where they need it.
We support our patients in their own home, in residential care or at our Inpatient Unit in Newtown. Our three community teams are made up of doctors, nurses, counsellors and therapists who provide holistic care and support.
Wherever you are the Hospice philosophy applies: care for the whole person, not just your physical needs but also emotional, spiritual and social needs. The goal is to improve the quality of life that remains, understand what matters most in life and focus on the person and their family.
