The Health and Wellness team continue to deliver a comprehensive Green Prescription (GRx) support service on behalf of the
Auckland District Health Board and Counties Manukau District Health Board.
Our team is made up of Healthy Lifestyle Advisors, Dietitian, Operations Manager and Business Development Manager. The
GRx adult programme is delivered in a face to face format with an initial registration session with the client, weekly education
based group workshops and regular reviews for clients. The adult service is delivered across both District Health Boards.
The team operates from 13 sites for GRx and 4 sites for Active Families in Auckland. Our Active Families programme also
conducts home visits to parents and whanau. -
Our activated practices model of GRx delivery is now based in 4 medical centres and continues to run very effectively. It
delivers impact with great acknowledgment from GPs and nurses.
