Phyllis Huitema says it’s time for a change around the board table on the Waikato District Health Board. She says it’s time for a positive enthusiastic change.

“I want to ensure the public has faith that the Waikato DHB will deliver first class health care.”
Over the past fifteen years Phyllis has been appointed by the Medical Council of New Zealand to many committees’s that have worked to ensure the safe delivery of medicine. More recently she has been working with the Dental Council.
