After successfully fundraising $700,000 to build a dedicated Children’s Emergency Department at Palmerston North Hospital, our community has proved the difference we can make by coming together. We’re excited to announce we’ll soon be launching our next project, fundraising for a world-class surgical robot that will transform surgery and cancer care for our region.

Operated by skilled surgeons, this cutting-edge technology makes surgery safer, recovery faster, and lets people get back to their lives sooner. There is currently only one surgical robot available in New Zealand’s public healthcare system, based up in Auckland. We want these benefits for our whole community, not just those who can afford private care.

This is a chance for our region to lead the way, and it will have an enormous impact on the countless cancer surgeries happening every year.
