This is your chance to celebrate your hood by sharing stories, photos or video. We really want to see and hear about the people in your neighbourhood. Portraits or videos of our neighbourhood champions, or the people that to you personify your community or ‘hood’. This year we’re doing it a little differently. To help focus (excuse the photography pun) we’ve chosen three themes.
1 – I Heart the History of My Hood
Everywhere we live has history, and stories. Do you know your hood’s history? Or maybe you know someone who has lived in the community for what seems like a million years, and know the place like that back of their hand. Was your hood the birth place of the women’s vote, or maybe site of the biggest lamington ever made way back in 53′ ….(Yes I know, random, but honestly we’re interesting in anything and everything)… By the way – this is also an awesome way to get our older ‘story tellers’ involved.
2 – I Heart Diversity in my Hood
New Zealand really has become a melting pot and that brings with it the rainbow of diversity of all kinds. Maybe you have the ‘united nations’ living on one street, maybe your neighbourhood pot luck dinners are better and more interesting than an international food fair could every dream of! We want to see and hear about it.
3 – I Heart My Healthy Hood
With our clean green image, amazing fresh foods, picture perfect outdoor environment, we know there are neighbourhoods out there that personify ‘health’. Is your neighbourhood or neighbour one of them? It could be through a neighbourhood walking group, or a ‘from garden to plate thanks to the shared neighbourhood community garden’ kind of thing. It might be a neighbourhood that has committed to getting the kids off screens and outside, or maybe its a whole street of cross fit power vegans ….. probably not … but you never know. What ever it is, we want to see and hear about it.

So get snapping and chatting. We have more information on I Heart My Hood available on facebook and on our website.

The surgical bus is a prupose-built 20 metre long, 42 tonne truck which contains a fully equipped operating theatre and provides a low risk elective surgery to 23 rural towns throughout New Zealand.
It has been operating since 2002 and has successfully completed mor than 21,000 operations. A wide range of surgeries have been performed including general surgery, gynaecology, orthopaedics, dental, plastics and endoscopy.
The Mobile Surgical Unit travels on a five-week loop of the country, stopping off for the day at 23 regular sites. The surgery the patients receive at each site is booked well in advance with the patients' GPs, specialists, and MHS staff liaising to ensure efficiency of service.
Running on an ongoing circuit of the country, MHS employs two aptly-named "steerologists" who between the two of them maintain the Bus' demanding punctuality and, upon arrival at each location, effectively prop up an entire operating theatre with their own hands.
The bus helps eliminate unnecessary travel for patients and allows them to be treated in their local community, saving them stress and cost.
The bust will be vising Rangiora in March for an open day so you can see how it fits an entire operating theatre into a bus.
Where: Rangiora Health Hub, Rangiora Hospital.
When: Tuesday March 14, 8am-3pm.
