Hāmākua-Kohala Health serves the Big Island of Hawai'i by providing accessible, affordable, quality health care and educational services with an emphasis on individual and community wellness. Our locations include health centers in Honokaʻa, Kapaʻau, Laupāhoehoe and Waimea. Hāmākua-Kohala Health is a community owned non-profit organization and our board of directors is comprised of representatives from the community. As a FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER (FQHC) – Hamakua Kohala Health receives funds from the Federal Government, Bureau of Primary Health Care. With this funding comes a commitment to provide comprehensive, culturally competent and quality primary health care to medically under-served communities and vulnerable populations. This includes all people who face barriers in accessing services because of poverty, language or cultural differences, or an insufficient number of health professionals and resources in the area. We are held to rigorous performance and accountability standards including administrative, clinical and financial operations. We must measure the effectiveness and quality of our services and continuously evolve our programs to achieve the greatest impact on population health.
