Who we are

People-centered. Not place-bound.

Rooted in Lāna’i, open to the world. We invest in individuals — whether on the island today or carrying Lāna’i with them wherever they go.

Lāna’i is a community of about 3,000 people. No hospital providing significant medical care. One school. More than 50 miles across open ocean to the nearest hospital. The Ohana Healthcare Partners Foundation was built to ensure geography never defines the limits of what’s possible for the people who call this island home.

Founder's voice

The Heart of Lāna’iis its people.

Where you come from should never limit how far you can go — or all that you can give back to the place and the people that made you.

— Eleanor Castillo Sumi, Ph.D., Founder & Executive Director
