This hospital blends Native Hawaiian practices with Western Medicine. Read the photo captions to learn more about the information we learned on our tour! Liana Iaea Honda, Director of Native Hawaiian Health Services at the hospital, gave the tour and presentation. We’re grateful for her time and energy, sharing her culture and history.

Liana shares the history of health care on the island.
