Located in Kealakekua, HI, Kona Community Hospital — along with its sister facility, Kohala Hospital — is celebrating National Hospital Week from May 7-13 by honoring the passionate health care professionals who dedicate their lives to serving their communities.

National Hospital Week is the largest hospital and health care event in America, and it celebrates the industry’s long history and technological advancements. It honors the professionals who promote care and confidence within their communities, whether they work in emergency care, rehabilitation, or surgical services. The event also aims to honor the industry throughout the year with improved hospital recruitment, departmental interaction, workplace satisfaction, and increased community awareness.

Honoring Medical Professionals

With this year’s theme of “The Healing Heart of Health Care,” Kona Community Hospital and Kohala Hospital recognize the hard-working, dedicated professionals who keep the West and North Hawaii communities healthy, promoting hope and healing for 100 years. Through routine health care and services, they improve the overall health and well-being of the population. Through state-of-the-art surgical services and emergency care, they save lives day in and day out. This week honors their service and increases its recognition amongst community members.

The Healing Heart of Health Care

This year’s theme acknowledges that a hospital is more than just a healing place — it’s a beacon of hope. Regardless of the patient’s age and condition, hospitals not only provide health care and services, but also promote optimism. These loving, dedicated professionals deserve recognition within the local community and beyond. National Hospital Week unites medical professionals nationwide to celebrate the services they provide in all areas of health care. In good times and in bad, these medical professionals promote health, well-being, and trust amongst both patients and their surrounding communities. The role they play can’t be underestimated — not just this week, but all year long. 

Serving the West and North Hawaii communities with comprehensive, high-quality health care, Kona Community Hospital and Kohala Hospital celebrate their dedicated employees during National Hospital Week.  For additional information about this Kealakekua hospital, its mission, and its array of health care and services, visit the website or Facebook page.
