"Kulia I Ka Nu'u…Strive for the Highest"

From acquiring new knowledge and developing new programs, to providing quality healthcare through our facilities and meeting the future healthcare needs of Hawaii's people, the queen's motto, "Kulia I Ka Nu'u" or "Strive for the Highest," remains our guiding principle. Her vision and commitment continue more boldly than ever.
