Community First Hawaii

Community First Hawaii Community First is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization established in 2014. We believe healthcare is caring for health and not just treating disease.

As a community we have to help each other to do so. We are dedicated to realizing a community which believes healthcare is caring for health and not just treating disease. It is not enough to take personal responsibility for our well-being. In our community every resident should be supported in taking responsibility for their health and well-being by their medical providers, their employers, and their County. Only by fostering this personal responsibility in caring for health and well-being can our community achieve a sustainable medical system which can provide quality care for all of its people. We have adopted a two prong approach to transforming healthcare and personal accountability for health. The first is through healthcare transformation. The second, is addressing community through grass-roots initiatives and education. Visit communityfirsthawaii.org for more information.

We’re stronger together 💪 The Community Action Network (CAN) connects local healthcare and social service professionals to share resources to better help our community.

We meet once a month on Zoom in a safe, welcoming space to share ideas, resources, and support.

Our network includes case managers, community health workers, care coordinators, paramedics, and service providers — all working together to build a healthier community.
