Celebrating 20 Years of KVIBE

It’s been 20 years since KVIBE first opened its doors, and what started as a program to promote health and fitness has grown into so much more. Read more on how the program has transformed over the years to meet community needs.

Elder Care

Taking Care of Our Kūpuna

“Our kūpuna have so many needs, and we as a community can do better to provide better care for them.” KKV’s new Geriatric Primary Care Provider, Dr. Kapono Chang, is passionate about uplifting our elderly community. Read more on his journey to KKV, and why he chose to specialize in this field.

Hoʻoulu ʻĀina

New Mural at Hoʻoulu ʻĀina

In many Pacific Island cultures, the star compass is a foundational tool for navigation and wayfinding, connecting us to our ancestors. A new mural at Hoʻoulu ʻĀina reminds us of the importance of that connection. Read more on the creative process behind the artwork.

Youth Services
