Due to unsafe facility conditions caused by the severe weather, the Kula Hospital Emergency Department is temporarily closed.

Patients currently at the emergency department will continue to receive care. Anyone who needs emergency services should go to the Maui Memorial Medical Center Emergency Department in Wailuku.

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911. Emergency responders will provide care and transport patients to Maui Memorial Medical Center.

Hospital officials said the decision to close the emergency department was made out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety of patients and staff.

Maui Memorial Medical Center and Lanai Community Hospital remain fully operational.
