Pharmacybrands is delighted to announce that from 1 April 2014 it will become Green Cross Health, to support its evolution and expanded focus as a provider of primary health services to New Zealand communities. 
  
  “Renaming our business Green Cross Health will more accurately reflect our growth as a group and our move from to become a primary health services provider throughout New Zealand.
  
  “The green cross is a well-recognised international symbol that signals a place to find professional care and advice and many New Zealanders will be familiar with it already. Our green cross logo is an adaptation of the widely recognised icon and we intend to make it ours in New Zealand,” says Grant Bai, CEO Pharmacy, Pharmacybrands.
  
  Green Cross Health supports a network of around 300 pharmacies and 28 medical centres located throughout New Zealand.
