“I think the residents and visitors of Kaua`i deserve the same high level of expertise and care as they would in California or a metropolitan area.
Growing up on Kaua`i, and now as an adult reflecting back on the opportunities and community support which contributed to my upbringing and life, this is a small way I can give back for all the aloha which was given to me and my family. I hope you will never need to be seen in urgent care, but if you do, you will be welcomed with aloha.”
