PUʻUWAI

Nā Puʻuwai is literally translated into the hearts. Many hearts is symbolic of the heart our staff has to serve our patients, the heart of the ʻohana (families) within the communities we serve, the heart of the ʻāina (land) that we care for and l0ve, the physical, emotional and spiritual heart, and our commitment to heart health (Native Hawaiians have high heart disease health disparities)... Nā Puʻuwai is the Native Hawaiian Health Care System that serves the islands of Molokaʻi (including Kalaupapa) and Lānaʻi. We are here to help promote, address and improve the mauli ola of our lāhui... Like a pohaku kuʻi ʻai (poi pounder) Nā Puʻuwai is committed to using our funding to nourish the communities that we serve through culturally grounded, innovative, integrative health care to achieve mauli ola.
