Doctors taking new patients - nani1970 - 10-17-2014
My husband had a doctor , who just closed his office with no notice, leaving my husband in bad shape.
Thank god for Puna Community Medical Center.
He went in there and they sent him right to emergency at Hilo Medical Center.
He ended up having major surgery.
He is left without a primary doctor.
He has HMAA insurance.
Anyone know of any doctors taking new patients.
We have no idea what to do when he leaves the hospital.

I believe it was a few years ago that there was talk of offering incentives in order to entice new doctors to work/live on the island. I am aware of programs designed to draw teachers into "underprivileged school districts" by in-turn forgiving amassed student loans. Perhaps a similar program could be drawn up in the way of areas in need of physicians...
