Rehabilitation and Support Center
Would you be able to drive for 5 hours to and from physical therapy services after an automobile accident or work-related injury? What if you needed to do this three times a week along a narrow, winding, two lane road with 632 turns and 59 one lane bridges.
What if you were recovering from a heart attack and facing the same prospect in order to access rehabilitation services? Or have been released from the hospital, but have no one to help care for you at home during your recovery?
That’s what happens now if you live in Hāna. Patients are often faced with difficult choices when it comes to securing needed care. There are no good options – take the drive, fly at great expense and inconvenience, temporary relocation to the “other side” or forego treatment altogether.
Our Project
The Hāna Health Rehabilitation and Support Center is a 6,300 square foot, multi-purpose facility that will be built adjacent to the existing health center improving care coordination and service integration. The building will include space for physical therapy, chiropractic care, cardiac rehabilitation, short term medical respite, mental health care and specialty services using the latest tele-medicine technology. Administrative offices will also be relocated from outside trailers to the new building.
Hāna Health expects to serve approximate 1,021 residents through the Rehabilitation and Support Center based on current need as identified through a variety of community assessments.
As with all Hāna Health programs, a sliding fee scale based on federal poverty guidelines will assure that all patients in need receive care regardless of ability to pay.
The Rehabilitation and Support Center is projected to cost $6.3 million to build, equip and furnish. To date $1.5 million has been committed to the capital funding program.
Although we have a long way to go to reach our goal it is anticipated the fundraising for this project will be completed by the end of 2018 with construction to follow shortly thereafter.
We invite you to help us bring this modern health care facility to Hāna with your tax-deductible gift. Hāna Health is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation.
