Maui Health employees, physicians, and auxiliary volunteers once again came together in the spirit of giving, supporting 30 families across Maui through the Adopt-A-Family program in partnership with Maui Family Support Services.
A Tradition of Giving Back
For more than a decade, teams from various healthcare facilities under Maui Health have made it a tradition to support families in need during the holiday season. This initiative has become a heartfelt tradition that allows the staff to connect personally with the families they assist.
Personalized Support and Joyful Moments
Each adopted family had the opportunity to visit Maui Memorial Medical Center, where they were welcomed by the departments sponsoring them and even had a surprise visit from Santa Claus, who brought smiles to the faces of the children with gifts donated by a generous family from Las Vegas.
Community Commitment and Genuine Compassion
Lynn Fulton, CEO of Maui Health, emphasized the genuine compassion that drives this program, highlighting the deep care that employees, physicians, and volunteers have for the community. This commitment extends beyond the hospital walls, showcasing a strong bond with the Maui community.
Fostering Lasting Connections
Through Maui Family Support Services, families in need are identified, and Maui Health teams go above and beyond to fulfill their essential requirements, from everyday needs like diapers and strollers to special surprises including bicycles for the children. The program aims not only to provide material support but also to create moments of connection and gratitude.
Continued Support and Community Strengthening
The Adopt-A-Family program is just one of the many ways in which Maui Health employees give back to the community throughout the year. Their dedication to volunteering, donating, and supporting families across Maui County showcases a commitment to making a positive impact beyond healthcare.
Supporting Family Well-Being
Since 1980, Maui Family Support Services has been instrumental in promoting healthy family functioning by providing essential support services that build on family strengths. Their work across Maui, Moloka’i, and Lāna’i aims to create stability and opportunities for those in need.
