Aloha Kona Hospital Foundation Supporters!

A special year for the KHF has passed…our 25th Silver Anniversary!

And what a year it was with such fun events as our Hoku Concert and our Golf and Gala Event at Hokuli’a. Our focus in ’09 was the “Adopt-A-Room” project and we’re pleased to report that it was an overwhelming success! We hope you’ll make it a date to view our model room with its target completion date in May 2010. We’ll be sure to keep you posted.

This project is expected to be completed over a three year time period as we can only work with empty rooms, not easy when you’re dealing with a hospital! As you can imagine, the logistics are staggering, but the Kona Community Hospital is awesome in scheduling this great project. And there is still time to donate or even “purchase a room”. For more information just click here.

On a side note, as many of you are aware, Kona, and especially South Kona, is currently dealing with a terrible out-of-control fire on Mauna Loa. No houses are in danger, so putting the fire out is not a priority of an already busy fire department. However, the air quality has taken a toll and the Emergency Department has been overflowing with patients in respiratory distress. All this to say, last year, the KHF’S project was the Emergency Department and we’re happy to report that they are much better equipped to handle this critical situation.

Another item to put on your calendar is our Hoku Concert for 2010 scheduled for May 1. “I Love Paris” is the theme and this year’s artist is Paula Rasmussen. Paula brings to us her incredible talent as an opera singer and has starred in such productions as Carmen for the New York City Opera, as well as singing the opening year at the new Disney Hall in Los Angeles. http://www.dispeker.com/page/rasmussen.html

Please continue to check our website for exciting changes. We will be featuring different departments in the hospital as well as introducing you to some of the Kona Community Hospital’s incredible staff.

Thank you so much for your continued support of the Kona Hospital Foundation. It is our desire to continue to make this hospital, YOUR hospital, and the best it can be!

Aloha and best wishes for a happy and safe 2010!
