At Pinnacle Health our commitment to health equity goes beyond words — it is backed by evidence. Our medical director, Dr Jo Scott-Jones, recently joined partners in academia to examine how primary care can close gaps and improve outcomes for people with type 2 diabetes.
Supported by the New Zealand Health Research Council, this research confirms what we see in practice:
This work shows the value of strong partnerships between healthcare providers, researchers and universities, and Pinnacle is proud to be actively engaging in such partnerships.
The research is published across several recent studies with the University of Waikato and academic partners.
We remain steadfast to our role in driving equitable and evidence-based healthcare, ensuring whānau across Aotearoa can access the right care at the right time wherever they are.
He waka eke noa — we’re all in this together.
Mauri ora.
