We need a hospital and offices for doctors and dentists. Medical services are good Hilo is close for any major problems It's great that the Pahoa Family Health Center, Pahoa Women's Health Center, Hui Malama Ola Na 'Oiwi and Puna Community Medical Center are in our community. This enables our community members to access medical services here in Puna. We need to ensure continued support for these medical centers and encourage our politicians to support them as well. We could also use more service providers in each of those locations so patients can get care sooner. adequate currently but will have to grow competant, helpful, available, local We have a good fair amount of medical help. When I moved to Pahoa in 1996 1 moved here because it was country and did not expect to have all the facilities as in a large city. When I got ill I went to a doctor in Hilo and when I needed to go to the hospital I went to Hilo Medical Center or Queens in Honolulu. I did not have to complain about the travel and the quality of service as I knew this up front. Nice to have a laboratory in town to take specimens. I have only used the lab services by Malama Grocery and was pleased to find a nearby resource. I have not used the clinic(s ?) I have recieved excellent care from the pahoa faminly med center and the emergency clinic by malama. I am always treated with respect and my needs are addressed in a timely fashion. I think the women's clinic should be open more than one day a week. General comments Says yes to drug- not helpful- all they do is offer drugs - howerver, its's good people the people in the Hilo hospital /Hilo hospital staff are cannibals. They behave in an extemely suspicious, conspiratorial way Needs better comuniztion on transportation for disabled through ohana Nice personnel, Facilities and appearance need improving Medical services Page 8
