Maui County hospitals are now managed by Kaiser Permanente. The public-private partnership went into effect Saturday.
The transfer of operations occurred at Maui Memorial Medical Center, Kula Hospital, and Lanai Community Hospital.
Governor David Ige said the transition is a historic accomplishment for the state.
Ige released this statement saying:
“In this time of uncertainty for health care across the country, the stakeholders came together, put their individual interests aside in favor of the collective… interests to take on this challenging and complex transaction ensure the best health care system possible for the people of Maui County.”
The partnership was approved by state lawmakers last year.
