Hale Mana‘Olana Chapel
Meaning “House of Hope”, our chapel is located at the end of the main hallway and offers a quiet place of solitude and prayer. Religious scriptures and books from numerous spiritual practices are available.
Spiritual Support
Through the support of volunteer community chaplains, Queen’s North Hawaii Community Hospital offers spiritual comfort to help you and your family through prayer, nurturing conversation, guidance and support. Please contact your nurse to take advantage of this complimentary service.
Advance Directives
Advance directives are documents that state your choices about medical treatment or name someone to make decisions about your medical treatment if you are unable to make these decisions yourself. They are called “advance” directives because they are signed in advance to let your physician and other healthcare providers know your wishes concerning medical care.
These documents include a living will or power of attorney. If you have completed these documents, we will place a copy in your chart to ensure that your medical providers follow your wishes. If you have not previously completed these documents, our Case Management and Social Work Representatives are happy to explain them and help you fill them out. For more information, please contact your nurse.
