Hawaii Health Systems Corporation

The Hawaii Health Systems Corporation (HHSC) network of hospitals and clinics provide high quality healthcare services to residents and visitors in the State of Hawaii regardless of the ability to pay. In this regard, HHSC continues to serve as a vital component of the State healthcare "safety net." This is accomplished through the continued dedication and hard work of our employees, medical staff, community advisors, boards of directors, labor union partners, and many other stakeholders, with support from the Legislature and the state administration.HHSC facilities include: Hilo Medical Center, Yukio Okutsu State Veterans Home, Hale Ho'ola Hamakua, and Ka'u Hospital (East Hawaii Region); Kona Community Hospital and Kohala Hospital (West Hawaii Region); Maui Memorial Medical Center, Lanai Community Hospital and Kula Hospital (Maui Region); Leahi Hospital and Maluhia (Oahu Region); Kauai Veterans Memorial Hospital and Samuel Mahelona Memorial Hospital (Kauai Region), in addition to three non-profit affiliate providers: Ali'i Community Care, Inc: Roselani Place - Maui; Ali'i Health Center - West Hawaii, and Kahuku Medical Center - Oahu. HHSC also owns and operates several physician clinics throughout the State.In June 2015, the Legislature passed Act 103, H.B. 1075, effective June 10, 2015, which allowed for the transition of the management of the Maui Region facilities to a new entity. The Maui Region selected Kaiser Permanente as the entity that would manage the three Maui Region facilities. As a result, Kaiser Permanente formed a new not-for-profit entity, Maui Health System (MHS), to manage the three Maui Region facilities. In January 2016, HHSC entered into a transition agreement with an expected effective date of July 1, 2016. Due to legal challenges and other delays, the expected transition date was pushed back to July 1, 2017. The legal challenges were resolved with the passage of Act 18, S.B. 207, effective July 1, 2017. which provided severance benefits
