health access
accelerator fund
One of the hardest truths we keep hearing is that people cannot access the care they need — not because it does not exist, but because they cannot afford it.
The Heal Community Health Access Accelerator Fund is being built to change that. Its purpose is simple: to provide direct financial assistance to people in Hawke's Bay who need health care but cannot afford it, so that cost is never the reason someone goes without.
Status: The fund is currently in development. Join our mailing list below to be notified when applications open.
Our key objectives
Removing financial barriers
Direct financial assistance for people experiencing hardship, so health care is accessible when it is needed.
Prevention, not just crisis
Supporting proactive health care so people can address issues early rather than waiting until things get worse
Community awareness
Raising awareness of the fund across Hawke's Bay so people know it exists and how to access it.
Emergency health situations
Financial assistance for unexpected health crises so money is never a barrier to urgent care.
Faster access to care
Help with the cost of appointments and specialists so people are not left waiting because of money.
Working with local providers
Partnering with Hawke's Bay healthcare providers to make the fund as accessible and practical as possible.
