Getting a hospital in Puna has a lot of challenges, not the least of which would be getting SHPDA (State Health Planning and Development Agency) to issue a "certificate of need" for the facility and the services it would offer. Its needed, but convincing a bureaucrat of that would be "challenge" to say the least.

It would appear that Puna has quite a few more residents than Kau does. So how does Kau get a hospital but Puna doesn't?

I offer you peace. I offer you love. I offer you friendship. I see your beauty. I hear your need. I feel your feelings My wisdom flows from the Highest Source. I salute that Source in you. Let us work together for unity and love.
