Queen's Philosophy of Care |

"We believe that all people will be given care with dignity and respect, in an environment which is sensitive to each person's beliefs, values and culture. Each team member, patient and family is committed to a collaborative approach in providing an environment that will promote healing of mind, body and spirit. Our philosophy is extended in a place of harmony as guided by our founders, Queen Emma and King Kamehameha IV."
The Queen's Medical Centers founder, Queen Emma, often said, "people are the key to healing." A hospital-wide philosophy of care, called Lokomaika'i, is the embodiment of that statement. Lokomaika'i is a Hawaiian word that, in this interpretation, translates as "inner health."
