Help be a part of making your Waikato Hospital grounds Smokefree
Waikato DHB is committed to making a tupeka kore (tobacco free) / smokefree New Zealand by 2025. We want to positively support patients, visitors and staff not to smoke on Waikato Hospital grounds and provide more alternatives to groups who smoke.
We are reenergising our efforts on creating smokefree campuses, in particular Waikato Hospital where smoking in smokefree zones still persists.
To do this we need your help to help us design and promote new forms of communication that will help provide a supportive smokefree environment.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
