North Hawaii Community Hospital

North Hawaii Community Hospital (NHCH) is a full service acute care hospital centrally located in Waimea Kamuela on the Big Island of Hawaii. Governed by a local board of directors, this community owned non-profit hospital opened in May 1996 and primarily serves the 30,000 residents and visitors of the northern region of the Big Island. NHCH offers a full spectrum of acute care hospital services with a commitment to patient-centered care that treats the patient as a whole person -- mind, body and spirit -- in the context of family, culture and community. Designed as a "healing instrument", NHCH is fast becoming a prototype for the careful integration of select complementary healing practices with high quality medical care.
