Our Story
History of our Clinics
From the 1950s there has always been a medial provider on site at Tasman Paper Mill in Kawerau. We are proud to be part of the history of caring for workers - some with over 50 years of service. We care for generations of men and women in our rural workplaces and are always driven to do better for the improvement of health and safe home every day for our clients.
