We love Brown Butterbean Motivation founder Dave Letele’s mahi – that’s why Total Healthcare is working with him to bring new free programmes to help Māori and Pasifika with weight and wellness issues.

We want to give a special shout out to Dave for his recent New Zealand Local Hero the Year 2022 - Te Pou Toko o te Tau award.

Congratulations Dave! We love your drive and ability to motivate people to make positive changes in their lives for themselves and their whānau.
