WAILUKU, Hawaii (AP) - Maui’s new medical care provider has hired five doctors in the last four months. That brings to 11 the number of physicians Maui Health System has brought in since Kaiser Permanente took over management of Maui County’s three public hospitals nearly two years ago.
Maui Health System CEO Michael Rembis told The Maui News the newest hires are two neurosurgeons, two trauma/general surgeons and one oncological surgeon.
He says the county still needs more doctors and Maui Health System will continue to recruit.
He has said the system aims to recruit 10 physicians every year.
The system took over Maui Memorial Medical Center, Kula Hospital and Lanai Community Hospital from the Hawaii Health Systems Corp., a state agency, in 2017.
