Hilo Medical Center Foundation

As many of our residents on the Big Island of Hawaii are aware, our island has a severe doctor shortage. The Primary Care Physician Training Program seeks to address this issue by establishing a residency program in Hilo. Research shows that at least 70 percent of doctors stay and work where they complete their residency. In addition medical students who train here can become a part of the community to better understand the unique local needs and challenges that exist on the island.

Friends of the Children’s Justice Center of East Hawaii

The Friends of the CJCEH is a private non-profit organization that works in partnership with the Children’s Justice Center of East Hawaii, a Hawaii State Judiciary program that investigates child abuse and neglect. The Friends raise money to help identified abused children in East Hawaii. Through Special Needs Requests from social workers, therapists and others. The Friends support children’s emergency needs and life enhancements. The Friends work to help children of abuse today and break the cycle of abuse tomorrow.
