At Green Cross Health, our mission has always been about creating healthier communities. This year, we’re incredibly proud to celebrate a decade-long partnership with the Heart Foundation—a collaboration that has helped inspire action for more than 180,000 New Zealanders living with heart disease.
Over the past ten years, Green Cross Health has played an active role in supporting life-saving heart research, specialist training for cardiologists and community programmes. Our efforts have spanned a variety of initiatives, from supporting the much-loved Big Heart Appeal and encouraging staff-led, heart-healthy activities, to making it easy for customers to donate through our “dollar at tills” campaigns. Every contribution, big or small, helps bring the Heart Foundation closer to its vision of a heart-healthy Aotearoa.
For us, supporting the Heart Foundation goes beyond raising vital funds—it’s about setting high standards for heart health and wellbeing throughout our company and inspiring others to do the same. Our partnership has shown us the power of collective action: not only does it motivate and unite our teams, but it also creates a positive effect across our communities.
Thanks to our combined efforts, we’re helping the Heart Foundation work towards its mission: to stop all people in New Zealand dying prematurely from heart disease and enable people with heart disease to live full lives. The journey is ongoing, and there are always new ways to get involved—whether it’s joining an event, starting a workplace challenge, or making everyday donations.
We are deeply grateful to our staff, customers, and everyone who has supported the Heart Foundation with us over the last ten years. Heart disease remains New Zealand’s single biggest killer, but together, we’re making a real difference. We look forward to continuing this special partnership—and building a future where no one loses a loved one too soon to heart disease.
