Hana Health Clinic, which serves rural East Maui, recently acquired a mobile clinic that will help people with little access to health care. 

Executive Director Cheryl Vasconcellos told Spectrum News Hawaii in an interview Friday that Hana Health hopes to help at least 10 patients a day with the new mobile facility. 

“The plan is to be able to provide health care services throughout the Hana district and in some of the more remote areas where the clinic is not necessarily as convenient in Ke‘anae or Kīpahulu,” said Vasconcellos.

The mobile medical service will include a reception area, an exam room, bathroom and a wheelchair lift. 

The clinic will still need to be registered and get a safety check, according to Vasconcellos. Because of its large size, it also needs to be determined where the mobile clinic will be parked in different communities, and then a schedule will be created. 

Vasconcellos said they hope to station the mobile clinic on school campuses. This will allow them to give kids access to expanded services, including screenings and the flu vaccination. 

Hana Health Clinic is also currently constructing a new building, Hana Health Rehabilitation and Support Center, which will provide spaces for new services including physical therapy, chiropractic care, expanded room for behavioral health services and traditional healing services. 

Vasconcellos said the traditional healing services will include lomi massage therapy. 

At its free-standing building, Hana Health Clinic provides a full range of services, including primary care services, behavioral health care, dental care, and 24/7 urgent care. 

“We’ve been extremely busy addressing the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Vasconcellos. She said Hana Health conducts screenings, contact tracing, testing, and vaccinations. 

Hana Health Clinic is open Monday through Saturday. During the weekdays, the clinic is open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
