Project Description

The Molokai Community Health Center (MCHC) is a nonprofit organization that seeks to improve the quality of life for residents of the Hawaiian island of Molokai, who are predominantly Native Hawaiians. The Native Hawaiian community lags behind other minority groups in the state in factors pertaining to economic success, and the community also suffers from poor health outcomes. The multi-building campus is located on six acres, and it already offers acute care, dental services, mental health services, pediatric care and dietician services. The coming phases adds a well-baby clinic, a physical therapy pool and general upgrades to numerous campus buildings. NMTC funding also allow for an expansion of an on-site commercial kitchen to allow local vendors to use the space to prepare food to support food-based micro-enterprises. Decking is added to provide access to the entire campus for all patients, and it is compliant to the Americans with Disabilities Act.
