Dear Chair Baker, Vice -Chair Chang, and Committee members:
RE: SB 911 RELATING TO HEALTH (cardiac care at Hilo Medical Center)
Thank you for this opportunity to support the improvement of cardiac care
services at Hilo Medical Center.
For better or worse, over the past few years, I have developed an ongoing and
personal relationship with Hilo Medical Center and a number of other medical
institutions. HMC has given me excellent service, and Hawaii should be very pleased
with the quality of care it provides. However, HMC could do so much more if more
resources were available, and better cardiac care has been identified as a priority.
Please act favorably on SB 911.
Sincerely,
Harry Kim
