Services

Pegasus Health provides PHO services for everyone who is enrolled with one of its general practices or primary care organisations. The intention of the PHO is to promote health, reduce the cost of care and help set the direction for the development of primary health care for its enrolled population.
As well as funding general health service for its enrolled population, it targets specific health services at Māori and Pacific peoples and people from refugee or migrant backgrounds.
A free interpreting service is available through general practice.
For information about migrant resettlement, contact the Refugee and Migrant Health Manager on (03) 379‑1739 or by email.
