🚨 KKV Judd Clinic & Wellness Center Closure Notice 🚨

Due to a water main break in the area, both the KKV Judd Clinic and KKV Wellness Center are temporarily closed today and tonight, Tuesday, June 9, 2026.

The Board of Water Supply has informed us that repairs are expected to take approximately 8 hours. To help reduce traffic and congestion in the area, we ask that community members avoid traveling to these clinic locations if possible.

If you have an appointment scheduled for today or this evening, a member of our team will be reaching out to you to reschedule your visit.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding. We will share updates as they become available.

Changes are coming to Medicaid (Med-QUEST) later this year and we want our community to be prepared and stay informed. These changes may affect how often people currently on Med-QUEST renew their coverage and who qualifies for benefits.

We know these updates can feel confusing. That’s why we want our community to hear about them early and know there is support available. Taking small steps now can help protect your health coverage later. Our team is here to help answer any questions, walk through paperwork, and support you and your ʻohana along the way.

Nothing has changed…yet. But it will soon.
Let’s be prepared together!

📞 Contact our Eligibility Team for support at 808-791-9447

It is with deep care for our community that we share the 2026 Kalihi Ahupuaʻa Ride, scheduled for this Saturday, April 11, is postponed due to weather and safety concerns related to the storm conditions forecasted for this Saturday. We do not have a confirmed date yet, but please stay tuned as more details will be coming soon.

As the storm makes its way through our islands, please remember to take care of yourselves, your ʻohana and each other.

Thank you for your understanding and for being a wonderful neighbor. We look forward to being in community with you again soon.

Being a good neighbor means showing up for one another, especially in times of hardship. It looks like checking in, sharing what you can, and making sure no one has to navigate challenges alone. In moments like these, even small acts of care can make a meaningful difference.

In the wake of the recent Kona Low storms, communities across the pae ʻāina are navigating immense loss, with impacts felt far and wide. Times like these remind us of the strength of our community and the deep care we hold for one another.

We have put together a list of resources to help connect you to community. Whether you are seeking assistance or looking for ways to give, we encourage you to explore and share.

All resources, with source acknowledgements, are available in the highlights of our Instagram bio (see below for clickable link):

❤️ Access disaster aid and support services
❤️ Find opportunities to donate or volunteer
❤️ Stay informed with updated community resources

Be safe.
Be kind.
Be well.
Be a good neighbor.
