History

We began in 1979 when Dr Brian Gibson began a solo practice in the Delatour Road shopping centre. He joined with three other doctors to move into Kaiti Medical Centre which pharmacist David Moore built in 1982. The practice grew, more people enrolled, and more doctors were employed. Eventually, 30 years after it began, it was time to expand. Around the same time the Ministry of Health said it wanted more healthcare provided at the primary level, so we built a modern, integrated, purpose-built medical centre in the heart of Gisborne and became Three Rivers Medical.
