To celebrate our very own rangers, we ran a Q&A on Instagram and Facebook stories to give you an opportunity to find out more about their important work.
In case you missed it, here are some of the interesting questions you asked them and our rangers' answers, hopefully giving you more insights into their universe.

These shelters have given our hardworking staff and our patients protection from the elements and were to be repurposed as part of our screening process when we open for urgent care matters on Monday.
We do thank all of the community for their support while we've operated over the last four months however if you have any information or saw anything please email us at admin@shorecare.co.nz .

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: Buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food bank, build a free community library for your street, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.
This month’s theme also coincides with Random Acts of Kindness Day (New Zealand) which is coming up on September 1st.
Let us know how you’re spreading kindness in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

“I am 83 living alone. My neighbours Grant and Annette Phillips were wonderful during the lockdown, getting my shopping and taking me to the dentist when I broke my dentures and had no way of getting them mended. When I needed help in an emergency they were there for me reattaching the connections under my bed which I could not get to.They have taken me to doctors appointments and helped when I needed help in the house after a fall and when my Medic Alarm has been activated.”

We have really appreciated everyone's patience and kind words.
We finish our time as a CBAC on the 31st of July with operation Northcross comeback beginning in the early hours of the 1st of August.
Our process of having booked appointments and swabbing in car means that we haven't actually had anyone with COVID-19 inside our clinic but for peace of mind we thought a deep clean was in order.
At 8am on Monday the 3rd of August we open our doors once again for all urgent care matters to the public.
This is where we really need your support!
After just over four months of being closed we need to get the word out that we are back in action, ready to care for you and your family.
So make sure to share this news with your friends and family and let's get Northcross up and running again!
