Rangiora Health Hub Completion of asbestos removal at the old Rangiora Hospital is making way for South Link Health to build a new health centre for North Canterbury. The demolition and site services works, which are being managed by the Site Redevelopment Unit, are expected to begin in July and will take around two months to complete. The new 1,250m² facility, to be known as Rangiora Medical Centre, will bring together existing general practices Good Street Medical and Rangiora Family Doctors, alongside a pharmacy and other primary health services. It will be open for care seven days a week and extended hours. The old Rangiora Hospital building served the community very well for many years. It was mothballed in 2018 when the new community services facility was opened alongside the Rangiora Health Hub.
Demolition of the old Rangiora Hospital will start later this year, making way for the new Rangiora Health Centre which will be run by South Link Health and bring together two existing general practices
The new facility is expected to open at the end of 2022.
