About ProHealth Hub
Our Story
ProHealth Hub has been a vision and dream of co-founder Dr Aaron Huang for quite some time. On returning to Auckland following a stint of volunteer work in Africa with an internationally recognised medical organisation, Mercy Ships, Aaron and his wife (Tracy) felt inspired to step out on their own to start a local health centre.
It was at this time that Auckland Chiropractic Centre was in search of new owners, prompting them to take over as the successors of this well established chiropractic clinic. After several years of running the business, they had made many changes to the centre, namely the addition of alternative healthcare services. It was then that Aaron and Tracy discovered the benefits of working closely with other like-minded health professionals and led them to the prospect of further expansion.
The decision was made to establish ProHealth Hub and invest into the long term plan of moving into a purpose built premises. Now located in Royal Oak, they are very excited with the opportunities ProHealth Hub carries in providing a greater range of healthcare services for the growing health needs of the community.
