The Kauai Region Healthcare Facilities, established in 1996 through the passage of Act 262 of the Hawaii State legislature, are safety-net facilities that provide essential medical care to surrounding communities, serving all individuals in need of medical attention regardless of their ability to pay. Comprised of Kauai Veterans Memorial Hospital, Samuel Mahelona Memorial Hospital, and several primary care clinics strategically located across the island, these facilities offer easy access to healthcare for both residents and visitors.
Kauai Veterans Memorial Hospital, named in honor of Kauai Veterans and serving the community since 1957, is a full-service Critical Access Hospital. Samuel Mahelona Memorial Hospital, originally opened in 1917 for local tuberculosis patients, became part of the HHSC Kauai Region Healthcare Facilities in 1996 and now operates as a CAH Hospital with a 24-hour emergency department, reflecting the commitment to quality, accessible, and compassionate healthcare for the island community.
