Mrs Bonnie Sue, of Ōhakune, MNZM for services to health and Māori
Bonnie Sue was one of three volunteers who formed the Ngāti Rangi Community Health Centre Inc (NRCHC) in 1996, an organisation she went on to manage until 2020. The NRCHC was a Whānau Ora organisation, supporting residents in the Waimarino, Ōhakune, Raetihi and Waiōuru areas, providing free services and health information, and addressing the clinical and cultural needs of whānau. It also delivered Well Child Tamariki Ora and kaupapa Māori mental health and addiction services. Before her retirement, Mrs Sue initiated the merging of the NRCHC and Ngā Waihua o Paerangi Trust into one, integrated hauora Māori wellness centre for the community.
