HMC has given me excellent <br />service, and Hawaii should be very pleased with the quality of care it provides. However, it <br />could do even more if more resources were available, and better cardiac care has been <br />identified as a priority. <br />Please act favorably on HB 527. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Harry Kim <br />Mayor, County of Hawaii <br />County of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br />
