Way Finders - East Wing Opening
Ref: #00747
With the opening of the new East Wing in the coming months, Health New Zealand has identified an important short-term volunteer opportunity to help welcome and assist patients, families, and visitors as they familiarise themselves with the new facility. To support a smooth transition in the first few weeks following opening, community volunteers are being invited to serve as Way Finders — friendly, approachable people who can provide guidance, reassurance, and practical assistance to members of the public navigating the new building. If interested, please register your interest by 15th June 2026 to admin@vnp.nz
