It’s with sadness we share that Marion Cooper, our Founder and Patron, died on Monday 14 December 2020. Marion was the driving force behind establishing Te Omanga Hospice in 1979, along with her husband Max and Sir Roy and Shirley, Lady McKenzie.
Te Omanga Hospice exists because of Marion’s vision, passion, tenacity and hard work. Her focus was always on the person being at the centre of care and this is still at the heart of what we do today. She was a pioneer in palliative care and leaves a great legacy for the Hutt Valley and New Zealand.
Our thoughts are with her family at this time.
