About the Medical Trust

The Palmerston North Hospital Medical Trust is a charitable organisation established in 1969 as a result of public interest in supporting the work of Palmerston North Hospital.

The Trust works in co-operation with Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora | MidCentral and its staff for the benefit of people served by Palmerston North Hospital. The Trust’s funds are applied to areas that could not be covered by normal hospital resources. This has been the consistent pattern since the commencement of the Trust.

The Trust is entirely supported by donations and bequests. Its funds often come from those who have been patients of Palmerston North Hospital, or whose friends or relatives have received care there.

Since 1969 the Trust has invested the funds received to produce income to support its activities.
