From humble beginnings, Phoenix Healthcare has risen from the garage to the innovative health provider we are today. Offering a range of quality services, we’re proud to walk alongside our clients and funders to ensure accessible healthcare services and better health outcomes for the people of Waitaha/ Canterbury, our community.
