Medical Receptionist

Marcia has been part of the Manurewa Healthcare whānau since 2021 and brings with her over 10 years of experience as a receptionist in general practice. As a proud Māori woman, she is known for her warm, welcoming approach and her ability to greet patients by name as they arrive — something that helps build trust, familiarity, and a strong sense of belonging, especially for our Māori community. Her role as a medical receptionist is vital to the smooth running of the clinic, often being the first point of contact for patients and ensuring they feel supported from the moment they walk through the door. Marcia understands the importance of cultural connection and compassionate service in healthcare, and she embodies both every day. Outside of work, Marcia has a passion for sport and community involvement. She enjoys coaching rugby and netball league, helping to mentor the next generation both on and off the field.
