HEPA - Kona Community Hospital

Kona Community Hospital sits on the Western side of The Big Island of Hawaii.  The Kona-Kohala Coast has also been the birthplace and home to a number of culturally historical individuals over the centuries, from King Kamehameha the Great who united the Islands under a single rule, to Ellison Onizuka, the State’s first astronaut.

Along with museums, the numerous historical and cultural sites throughout West Hawaii provide a perspective on developments that are the legacy of present-day Hawai`i. These range from Hawaiian archaeological sites such as Mookini Heiau in Kohala, the graceful Hulihe’e Palace, Mokuaikaua Church in Kailua-Kona, Waimea’s Parker Ranch, and the modernistic Ellison Onizuka Space Museum at Kona International Airport.
