The organization emerged from affiliation agreements among The West Fono Health Trust and Pasifika Horizon Healthcare (2013) and The Peoples Centre Trust (2012), creating a network designed to expand access to quality health services in Auckland. Operating within the hospitals and health care sector, The Fono focuses on reducing health inequalities through culturally appropriate service delivery at its locations. Based in Auckland, it serves a mid-sized community and recently announced the development of an integrated IT system intended to coordinate care and be available to other Pacific providers.
