The Health Bus is the Foundation's first project. A collaboration with the Whanganui District Health Board, it will - once outfitted - deliver quality health services to the community, including immunisations, health checks, screening programmes, and more. The Foundation aims to have this mobile clinic on the road later this year to enable us to provide regional support for the COVID-19 Vaccine Rollout.
