About Encompass Health
As cancer rates continue to rise in New Zealand, the need for specialised, holistic care has never been greater.
Encompass Health offers a complete care pathway, from diagnosis to recovery, focusing on improving both the physical and emotional aspects of your well-being.
We embrace a heartfelt mission: to empower every person facing cancer to live well and thrive. We recognise that a cancer journey extends beyond medical treatment; it’s a deeply personal experience. That’s why we’re dedicated to walking alongside you and your whānau every step of the way.
Who We Are
Encompass Health is a unique collaboration between the Cancer Society Canterbury West Coast Trust and St George’s Cancer Care Centre.
We are proud to be one of the first organisations in New Zealand focused solely on oncology-specific services, providing tailored support to address the many challenges faced by those living with cancer.
Our Impact
In just one year of operation, we’ve made a difference in the lives of over 750 clients.
