Opened in May 1996 after decades of dreaming and nearly ten years of planning. Its mission is to improve the health and wellness of the people of North Hawaii.

North Hawaii Community Hospital is located in the rural town of Kamuela on the island of Hawaii ( affectionately referred to as the ?Big Island?) . Kamuela, also known as Waimea, sits on the slope of Mauna Kea, the dormant of two Hawaii Island volcanoes. Kamuela is home to the headquarters of the W. M. Keck Observatory and the Telescope.

Parker Ranch is Hawaii?s center for ranching activities and Paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy) culture.
In January 2014, North Hawaii Community Hospital became part of The Queen?s Health Systems, a not-for-profit corporation established in 1985 to bring expanded healthcare capabilities to the people of Hawaii and the Pacific Basin.
