PATIENT INFORMATION

In a time of great turmoil surrounding healthcare on the Hawaiian Islands, North Hawaii Community Hospital (NHCH) remains steadfast in its commitment to provide quality holistic health care in a high tech environment. 

The need for our hospital can be seen every day in the patients we treat:  a heart attack victim who has a pacemaker implanted and returns home the next day, a premature infant stabilized and transferred to Kapiolani, or an accident victim who is given a clean bill of health after a CT scan. Prior to NHCH being built, the story might not have ended the same for these patients. 

And today, our hospital continues to be no less critical than the day we opened our doors.  Our board members, physicians, staff and volunteers are aware of this need, both as representatives of the hospital and as community members with families and healthcare needs of our own. 

As a community-owned hospital, our strategic planning is driven by the desire to meet the most essential needs of those we serve.  As such, our current priorities involve expanding our Emergency Department and physician facilities to accommodate an ever-growing patient population, implementation of technology that provides superior diagnostics and improves patient safety, and capital upgrades to maintain the healing environment of our hospital.

While there will always be more to accomplish, whether it be recruiting new physicians, buying new equipment or introducing new service lines, NHCH is committed to providing the best staff, facilities and equipment available and always to be a place of healing for our island residents.
