Kai Kahele on Health Care

 

 


Bring physicians and services to underserved rural Hawai'i

As a resident of Hawai'i Island, Kai understands the unique healthcare challenges that our rural communities face. In Hawai'i, our rate of adult diabetes and healthcare expenses per capita have doubled in the last 20 years while we concurrently face a physician-shortage that has worsened over the last decade. Kai sees this critical shortage and will actively work to bring physicians and services to Hawai'i in order to provide our community with critical high-quality care.
