Our Mission The Kona Hospital Foundation is dedicated to improving Kona Community Hospital for the entire community. We fund medical technology, expanded services and enhanced facilities that would otherwise be unavailable. The
Kona Hospital Foundation, a nonprofit corporation, was created in 1984
to accept gifts and solicit donations for new medical technology, expanded
services and enhanced facilities for Kona Community Hospital. The people
of West Hawaii, both visitors and residents, deserve local access to a
progressive hospital providing excellent healthcare. Since its inception, the Foundation has donated over five million dollars towards numerous projects that have improved the hospital. Major endeavors include the Radiation Oncology Center, Imaging Center, Nuclear Medicine Suite, and Outpatient Chemotherapy Building. Other
projects to date include the emergency helicopter landing area, repair
and painting of the facility, enhanced directional signage for visitors,
medical equipment and education for hospital professionals. Current projects
include an “Adopt-A-Room” patient room renovation drive and "Buy-A-Bed",
the replacement of patient-care beds at Kona Community Hospital. By working closely with hospital CEO, Jay Kreuzer, community physicians, hospital managers and staff, the foundation targets significant hospital projects requiring funding. Monies are obtained through direct donations, private and public grants, investments and fundraising events. When citizens become aware of hospital needs and state funding deficiencies, support becomes a philanthropic priority for the entire community. The future of quality health care in West Hawaii relies on this support.
Day
to day operations of the Foundation are managed by a staff of two with
the help of numerous volunteers. We are overseen by an eight member
volunteer Board of Trustees. The current trustees are Meg Greenwell,
James Higgins, Daryl Kurozawa MD, Greg Chun, Judi Nakamaru, Reba Silva,
Anne Irene Wilcox and Jim Stafford.
The Kona Hospital Foundation is a non-profit organization (under Section 501c3 of the Internal Revenue Service Code of 1954). The tax identification number is 99-0233964.
