The Canterbury DHB is gearing up for a special event at Rolleston, as the new Selwyn Health Hub is blessed

Oromairaki will replace Lincoln Maternity Hospital, and also include community dental, child, adolescent and family mental health and community public health outpatient facilities.

DHB chief executive Peter Bramley says the facility will be integral to supporting the health of Selwyn residents

After today's blessing, he says the furniture and equipment can be brought in ahead of the hub's opening at the end of the month.
