Introducing Southern Cross Healthcare

Southern Cross Hospitals has been a trusted part of New Zealand’s healthcare system for over 40 years. Our new name, Southern Cross Healthcare, reflects that caring for the health and wellbeing of New Zealanders now extends beyond our hospitals. We still deliver quality elective surgery. But we now look after New Zealanders in a fuller range of ways and settings.

We believe passionately that health in this country is worth protecting. Everything we do is about making sure we play the biggest part we can in making that happen. Southern Cross Healthcare is another example of how we are evolving to better meet the changing needs and face of New Zealand.

New Zealand’s largest independent healthcare network

We are New Zealand’s largest independent healthcare network; a nationwide family of hospitals, surgical and endoscopy centres, community-based physiotherapy and rehabilitation services, and workplace mental health and wellness providers.

We are extremely proud to be an integral part of New Zealand’s wider healthcare system, in partnership with medical specialists, ACC, District Health Boards and health insurance funders.

Not-for-Profit: We are here for New Zealand

New Zealand is our home. As a not-for-profit organisation we continue to look for ways to enhance and support the health and wellbeing of New Zealanders by reinvesting in modern healthcare facilities, increasing our ability to reach more people, and striving to use our capabilities and resources to make healthcare accessible to more people.
