Kōkua Mau is Hawaii's hospice and palliative care organization, and it is comprised of individual and organizational champions and supporters from hospitals, education, consumers, insurance, long term care and hospices.
We hope that you will find all the Hawaii focused information and resources on hospice, palliative care, end-of-life care and advance care planning you need for yourself, your loved ones and your friends.
