MEISS (Otago and Southland) Inc Mission Statement Our mission is to improve the quality of life for people with M.E. by providing them with information and support, and by educating health professionals and the wider community. Our logo is the New Zealand Albatross. This is illustrative as these birds need a good strong wind to lift them up so that they can fly. Rather like the help sufferers need from others in order to be able to take off and fly again for themselves. 282-301 Moray Place Community House Box 5222 Dunedin New Zealand Phone number for Otago/Southland Co-ordinator, Heather Wilson is (03)4716169 How else can you contact us?
