Aloha,
We’ve been helping families and communities throughout Hawaii improve their health for 80 years. We’ve had the privilege of making investments in the health of communities for generations. In doing so, we invest in your future. And that’s an investment worth making.
Thank you for your trust in HMSA. We look forward to many more years of connection, partnership, and good health.
Mahalo,

At HMSA, healthy communities are our foundation. A group of social workers established a nonprofit health plan 80 years ago to help 671 members in their community pay for medical care. Every day since, we've had the privilege of being our members' partner in health. Today we serve more than 720,000 members statewide. Through it all, our purpose remains the same: to improve the lives of our members and the health of Hawaii.
Here’s a look at all the ways you helped us grow in 2018.
