Physical Therapy Initiative: Kauai Community Health Alliance

The Physical Therapy needs of Kauai's north shore have grown enormously over the last ten years. Our communities now need expanded and improved Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation services.

North Shore Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine is the physical therapy department presently operating out of Hale Lea Medicine.

Because there is a growing need for Kauai's north shore residents to receive high-level physical therapy and rehabilitation services close to home, KCHA has begun an initiative to raise the funds for this to occur.

North Shore Physical Therapy Initiative

Need	Cost
Physical therapy, sports training, and rehabilitation equipment	$42,000
Build out facility space	$60,000
Total Cost	$102,000
Initiative will be self-sustaining once up and running. No ongoing funds needed.

Fund a Need

Make a gift of one or several pieces of equipment from the equipment list below. Any equipment you help purchase will be used repeatedly to help patients recover from illness and injury. Check the equipment list and prices below to see what you might be able to contribute.
Make a gift toward building out the physical space in which Physical Therapy, Sports Training, and Rehabilitation can all be provided. The total cost of building out such a facility is $60,000. That is only sixty people each giving $1,000. That is just twelve people each donating $5,000.
If you have the means, would you consider funding the entire therapy and rehab center? Be a “community hero” and have the center commemorated in your name. You would be making a real and lasting contribution to the healthcare of your neighbors, family and friends.

Please contact Jim Winkler if you are interested in supporting this healthcare initiative by calling 808-828-2885, or emailing winkler@kauai-medical.org Alternatively, donations can be made online right now. Thanks for contributing to your community’s healthcare needs.
