Maui County Healthcare System Plan

 

 

         AIHM’s mission is to serve as an advocate for the creation of a system that will provide excellent healthcare services to all of the citizens
          and visitors of Maui County.  AIHM will first focus on our most acute needs of a 350 bed, private, state of the art, full service, teaching 
          hospital in Kihei; and support a private second or satellite hospital in West Maui.

GOALS:

  • Advocate that all Maui residents and visitors receive excellent and equal healthcare
  • Create a full-service 350 bed hospital in Kihei
  • Advocate and support a private small hospital in West Maui
  • Diversify our economy with Medical Tourism
  • Ease the government and political constraints that are preventing the existing private hospital plans from proceeding
  • Advocate improving and changing the services of Maui Memorial Medical Center
  • Improve hospital services on Molokai, Lanai’i, Hana and other remote areas of Maui County
  • Provide outreach clinics in remote areas of Maui County
  • Create health link by telemedicine and rapid patient recovery by helicopter ambulance

THE "CERTIFICATE OF NEED" PROCESS MUST BE ABOLISHED.

One reason why Maui Needs Excellent Medical Care

 I started working with Dr. Ron Kwon to bring a full service, private, acute care hospital, Malulani, to Maui, in 2005.  After the state stopped that hospital from opening, Dr. Kwon left.  I then worked with Jim Foster to start AIHM in early May, 2007, in order to bring all of the different people and organizations of Maui County together. We need to pose a united front to
 the legislature to get improved healthcare for Maui County. We are striving for the
creation of new jobs, educational opportunities, and industry—especially in the growing field of healthcare, to help Maui‘s economy. 

Jan is available to speak to your group at no charge.

Jim has been a Maui resident since 2000.  He and his family live in Lahaina. Jim has been concerned about the healthcare situation on Maui and on the West Side.  After Malulani was once again rejected by the CON, Jim wanted to do more to help. 

Forming a politically active group was Jim’s proposal in continuing to fight for our healthcare on Maui.
 He has also made a generous donation to AIHM.
