Molokai Ohana Health Care Inc. (MOHC), dba Molokai Community Health Center (MCHC), is the only federally qualified health center (FQHC) on the island of Molokai, Hawaii. Our mission is to provide and promote accessible comprehensive individual and community health care to the people of Molokai with respect and aloha, with the collaborative vision that all people have optimal physical, mental and spiritual health.
In 2002, MOHC applied for and received funding through the Bureau of Primary Health Care under Section 330 of the Public Health Service Act to develop a freestanding, centrally-located community health center providing core primary health care services that include family practice, behavioral health services, a dental clinic, nutrition services including the Women, Infant, and Children program (WIC), care enabling services such as the Community Farm Fresh Food Pantry, community outreach, care management, and eligibility services.
MOHC was created entirely by community volunteers and concerned residents of Molokai in response to the clear unmet need for expanded primary health care services on the island.
“People helping each other. That is what Molokai is all about. So MCHC is like that—a facility that helps with the needs of our kupuna (elderly), makua (adult) and keiki (children) at an affordable cost and with the convenience of a one-stop facility.”
