Kia hauora te katoa, kia puaawai te katoa - Everyone healthy, everyone thriving.
Our vision is to deliver primary care that supports all people to thrive by realising their health and wellbeing potential.
Pinnacle Incorporated is the parent in a group of not-for-profit primary care focused organisations. We’re a network of forward thinking general practices that manage the healthcare of nearly half a million people enrolled with 84 practices in Tairāwhiti, Taranaki, Rotorua, Taupō-Tūrangi, Thames-Coromandel and Waikato.
We are committed to becoming a bi-cultural organisation.
Our entities
Pinnacle Incorporated is a 32 year old GP membership network and the parent company for Pinnacle Midlands Health Network and Ventures.
Midlands Regional Health Network Charitable Trust is our primary health organisation (PHO). It governs the execution of PHO functions through its management arm, Pinnacle Midlands Health Network.
Pinnacle Midlands Health Network is the operational arm of the group, designed to deliver PHO functions and support all Pinnacle general practices to thrive.
Ventures creates a better health deal for people in two ways: not for profit ownership of the Primary Health Care Ltd network of practices that set the standard for sustainable primary care; and maximising the potential of technology to enable better health outcomes.
