ROYSTON HEALTH TRUST BOARD

We have a long history in Hawke's Bay that goes back to the original Royston Hospital in Hastings, founded in 1921 by a group of local doctors. Following the 1931 earthquake, the hospital was re-established on its current site as a community hospital. The doctor owners settled the hospital into a charitable trust in 1953 once the original loan was repaid. During the intervening years the Royston Hospital Trust (as we were named then) has overseen the hospital being redeveloped, firstly in partnership with local specialists and following its amalgamation into the Acurity Health Group, as part of a wider corporate group. The trust sold out of its private hospital interests in 2016 and rebranded as the Royston Health Trust to reflect the change in trust objectives, which are now more broadly focused on benefiting Hawke's Bay communities through targeted funding... I have been a general practitioner in Hastings for 40 years and involved with the Royston Health Trust since 1981. Working..
