Community Benefits

A healthier Hawaiʻi is built through care, partnership, and long-term commitment to our communities. We invest in programs, services, and initiatives that support wellbeing across the islands.

Creating a healthier Hawaiʻi

As a not-for-profit system of medical centers and clinics, Hawaiʻi Pacific Health is dedicated to providing the best care possible for anyone who needs it, regardless of a patient’s ability to pay.

Hawaiʻi Pacific Health and its system of medical centers, clinics and health care professionals provide charity care to patients in need of public health services and in underserved areas, education and training programs that raise the standard of care, and health initiatives and new medical services to improve health outcomes over the long term.

Last fiscal year, Hawaiʻi Pacific Health contributed nearly $81 million to help create a healthier Hawaiʻi.

Community Partnerships

We recognize that an individual’s health is strongly impacted by factors such as education, income, diet and housing.

Through working together with our community partners, we can address these significant drivers of health and create a healthier Hawaiʻi.
