Community Health Forums

Waikato DHB Community Health Forums (CHFs) are made up of local people representing specific geographical regions. 

They meet three times a year, with agendas jointly developed by the local chair and a Waikato DHB appointed CHF coordinator.

The purpose of CHFs is to:

• support and advise the Waikato District Health Board about local health issues, activities and priorities for their community
• provide a mechanism for ensuring communities are kept involved in and informed of Waikato DHB activities and issues.

Members of the public from those areas are always welcome to attend. 

• The next round of CHF meetings across the Waikato DHB region will be held in late July/early August.
• See details of date and venue under each CHF heading below, plus action notes from the previous meeting. 

There are currently eight Community Health Forums, based on geographical communities.
