caring for our families, friends, and neighbors
At HMSA, we have a singular purpose – everything we do is to improve the lives of our members and the health of Hawaii. We consider it a privilege to be able to care for our families, our friends, and our neighbors. But improving the health of Hawaii isn’t something we can do on our own. It’s why we work in partnership with key stakeholders: providers caring for their patients, employers caring for their employees, the government caring for its citizens, and communities caring for each other.
