Mission & Vision
Our commitment of caring for and serving our community has continued to grow since our humble beginnings in 1972 when just one doctor and a staff of five began delivering services from a temporary location in the heart of Waianae. Today, along with our main clinic in Waianae, we have satellite clinics at the Waianae Mall, Tamura Super Market, Nanakuli, Kapolei, Ewa, and Waipahu, and six school-based health clinics at Waianae High School, Waianae Intermediate School, Waianae Elementary School, Kamaile Academy Public Charter School, Nanakuli High & Intermediate School, and Nānāikapono Elementary School.
Long ago, we recognized that addressing the needs of the community needed to go well beyond just providing medical care. As a healthcare home, WCCHC believes job training and job development are also crucial to the health of our community. We offer residency programs for nurse practitioners, psychologists and pediatric dentists, and offer a medical school in partnership with A.T. Still University School of Osteopathic Medicine, which graduated 103 physicians since 2011.
We welcome your interest in our Health Center and invite you to browse our website for more information.
