About AIHA

AIHA was registered as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization in October, 2022. We seek to build upon the services provided by a founding group of AI clinicians and support volunteers in offering monthly blood pressure screenings, health education, vaccination, and other services with a holistic orientation to all interested AI residents, especially our most vulnerable seniors.

AIHA is governed by a board of directors comprised of eight local residents who have deep experience with clinical practice, community outreach, and healthcare administration.

Mission

Our mission is to provide compassionate, accessible, whole-person health and wellness services on AI. We are dedicated to improving quality of life by delivering exceptional healthcare, advancing optimal health outcomes, and fostering community engagement.

  • Establish healthcare services with an emphasis on developing personal relationships with a patient-centric approach.
  • Offer healthcare services accessible to permanent and part-time residents, regardless of their socio-economic background.
  • Collaborate with local healthcare professionals to expand the range of services and ensure high-quality medical care is delivered.

    Current Offerings:
  • Monthly blood pressure screening the first Friday of each month at Share & Care (10-12 noon).
  • Our travelling dental hygienist comes every three months.
  • Our foot care nurse offers services every month, as needed by island residents. Appointments required in advance.
