ProCare is pleased to announce the sale of Mt Smart Medical Centre, one of its Elevate programme practices, marking a significant milestone in its strategy to support clinician and industry-led ownership pathways.
The practice, located in Auckland, settled on Friday 17 October, and has been purchased by Harpreet Kaur, a highly respected clinician with a strong commitment to patient care and community wellbeing. Harpreet brings a wealth of clinical experience and a passion for making a difference in primary care, making her an ideal fit to lead Mt Smart into its next chapter.
To support continuity, current Lead GP Dr Samuel Fuimano will remain with the practice. His ongoing presence complements Harpreet’s leadership, ensuring trusted clinical governance and continuity of care that the community and practice team value deeply.
This sale reflects ProCare’s ongoing commitment to its Elevate programme, which was established to strengthen general practice sustainability and support ownership opportunities for clinicians and industry professionals.
Bindi Norwell, Group Chief Executive at ProCare says: “We’re incredibly proud of what the Elevate programme has achieved so far. The sale of Mt Smart Medical Centre is a great example of how we’re enabling passionate, skilled clinicians to step into ownership roles. Harpreet’s leadership will bring fresh energy to the practice, and we’re confident she will continue to deliver high-quality care to the community.”
ProCare will continue to support Mt Smart Medical Centre through the transition period, with Harpreet remaining part of the ProCare PHO Network, ensuring continuity of care and access to ongoing support.
New owner, Harpreet Kaur says: “I’m honoured to take on the ownership of Mt Smart Medical Centre. I look forward to building on the strong foundation and serving our patients with compassion and excellence to provide person-centred health services.”
We warmly welcome Harpreet to her new role and look forward to an exciting new chapter for Mt Smart Medical Centre.
As ProCare looks ahead, it remains open to further Elevate practice sales where they align with the long-term goals of its strategy – ensuring that general practice remains in the hands of those who are connected to the communities they serve.
