Molokai Community Health Center

What Molokai Community Health Center does

Molokai Community Health Center (MCHC), legally Molokai Ohana Health Care Inc. (MOHC), is a 501(c)(3) non-profit federally qualified health center (FQHC) founded in 2002 and headquartered at 30 Oki Place, Kaunakakai, on the island of Molokai, Hawaii. MCHC is the sole FQHC serving the island's approximately 7,400 residents and operates an integrated care model spanning medical services, dental services, behavioral health (Lifestyle Health & Wellness), the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program, and a community food pantry. Service delivery is conducted at the main Kaunakakai facility and extended through the Mana Mobile Medical Clinic, a mobile telehealth unit launched in 2022 with live EMR integration that connects rural and broadband-disadvantaged residents to off-island specialists.

The technology stack is built around the athenahealth patient portal, which handles records access, appointment scheduling, bill payment, and secure messaging, and which integrates with live electronic medical records used across both the main facility and the mobile clinic. The mobile unit is outfitted with an exam room, restroom, vaccine refrigeration, and a blood draw station. Distribution relies on direct community access via phone, walk-ins, same-day appointments, and scheduled mobile clinic stops at Maunaloa and Kilohana, supported by Facebook and Instagram outreach and word-of-mouth referrals.

MCHC's revenue model is hybrid and mission-driven: patient service fees, insurance reimbursements (including Medicaid PPS), and federal grants (including a $1,664,000 FY2023 Community Project Funding award for dental expansion and recurring Section 330 FQHC funding). A sliding fee scale based on household income and family size supports uninsured and underinsured patients, consistent with FQHC requirements to serve regardless of ability to pay. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors and affiliated with the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) and the Hawaii Primary Care Association (HPCA). Recent strategic activity includes a September 2025 clinical research partnership with the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa John A. Burns School of Medicine on fatty liver disease, and a CEO transition from Helen Kekalia to Milton Cortez in November 2025.
