Makahiki Medical and Dental Clinic
In 1967, some people concerned about the growing problem of drug use among Waikiki’s young people decide to take action – They establish the Waikiki Drug Clinic. Their response to an unmet community need becomes the foundation for Waikiki Health (WH), which has been providing quality medical care and social services to vulnerable populations ever since – in Waikiki and across Oahu, with outreach services throughout the State of Hawaii.
Today, Waikiki Health provides a multi-service, multi-site non-profit agency, which still focuses on meeting community needs, providing more than 42,000 patient visits annually.
To meet the growing demand for services, they founded Makahiki Medical and Dental Clinic in McCully-Moiliili (opening in early 2014). The new site will house eight exam rooms and seven dental operatories – providing Primary Medical Care, integrated Behavioral Health and Oral Health Services.
Waikiki Health establishes a Preventive Health and Utilization Dept. – and a team-based approach to providing care – in line with their moving toward the status of a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH). The PCMH model follows standardized, evidence-based guidelines for assuring quality care and improved health outcomes.
