Healthcare on your Doorstep
Welcome to Pohlen Hospital, a private 33-bed charitable trust hospital. The land and capital for the buildings was all donated, with 180,000 pounds gifted by Joseph Pohlen (to go towards the building of a district general hospital). The facility is named after the major donor.
The hospital is independent of the Te Whatu Ora but is governed by a Board of Trustees which represent the community, however Pohlen does hold key Te Whatu Ora contracts for areas of care including Maternity, Primary (GP Beds), Aged Care, Transitional, Palliative and End of Life, Respite and Carer Support. Therefore, if patients receive care under these contracts their care, in most cases, is free.
Pohlen has a range of in-house services and consultants that patients can access if required.
Our commitment is to our patients and our goal is to assist you and your loved ones in any capacity you require.
Our friendly, professional staff will take the time to get to know you and your family, so your care can be personalised and you can be sure that your wishes respected.
We are situated in the heart of Matamata, with lovely gardens and views of the Kaimai Ranges.
We have single rooms with ensuites and share rooms, all of which have outdoor access.
There is also four maternity rooms and two delivery suites.
Pohlen Hospital also has strong links and connections with local churches.
