University of Hawaiʻi Maui College will provide women’s health exams and birth control to women displaced or impacted by the Maui wildfires at its health center.
Three clinics in Lahaina Town were destroyed, and women’s health services were already booked out for months on the rest of Maui before the disaster. The UH Maui College Health Center is located on its campus and is open to community members as well as students, staff, and faculty. It is open Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–4 p.m.
More on how to help Maui ʻohana and the Maui wildfires.
Hannah Litt is the nurse practitioner who staffs the center. In the past, she has provided women’s health care at both Kaiser Lahaina and Maui Medical Group office in Lahaina. Litt said the patients she cared for and their families have been in her thoughts constantly.
“I would love to help ease worries or stressors for the people on Maui who are already overwhelmed by loss or just don’t know where to turn,” Litt said.
The health center can dispense many birth control options for free on-site. Specific prescriptions for non-stock items can be called into a pharmacy.
For more information interested patients can call 808-984-3594 or 808-868-7799 (after hours), or email: hlitt@hawaii.edu.
