Site Summary:
The mission of the Waikiki Health Center is to provide high quality
and affordable medical care, health education, and social services that
are accessible to the changing needs of the individual and the community
[State of Hawai`i]. In three decades of service we have demonstrated a
consistent commitment to serve people who are most in need and least
likely to be reached by more conventional services.
Waikiki Health Center has assumed a leadership role in the provision
of primary medical care for people living with HIV/AIDS, and related
HIV/AIDS preventive education programs for the community-at-large, since
the
>beginning of the HIV epidemic in Hawai`i. Waikiki Health Center
currently provides the most comprehensive array of early intervention,
primary care and related HIV/AIDS services in the State and participates
actively in the planning and implementation of statewide HIV/AIDS
policies and programs in
conjunction with the State and non-profit agencies.
Notably, Waikiki Health Center was awarded [year 2000] a federal Ryan
White Title III HIV/AIDS Planning Grant. These resources enable Waikiki
Health
>Center to plan and develop a comprehensive continuum of HIV/AIDS
early intervention and primary health care services for people living
with HIV/AIDS on the islands of O`ahu and Maui.
