Maui Quality Of Life Factors: Healthcare
A primary concern of any place of residence is access to quality healthcare facilities and practitioners. Maui has no shortage of medical centers, hospitals and even licensed spas to help with needed health concerns. Practitioners in all fields can be found on Maui, a destination for those wanting to live and practice in a community environment. In Maui, you can get to know your medical doctor on a personal level as well as a professional, being they will be shopping in the same stores and attending the same functions as you. Maui’s small town community lifestyle will already benefit your health, and the quality of life on Maui could add years to your life, allowing you to enjoy one of the most beautiful places on earth for many years.
When it comes time to visit a doctor, either for regular examinations or due to an unfortunate incident, you can rest assured that the facilities, equipment, knowledge, and abilities are top notch and, as with a new acute cardiac care program found at the Maui Memorial Medical Center, even ground-breaking.
Prior to September 2011, patients requiring attention to acute coronary conditions had to be flown off the island to seek proper care, but with the cardiac program at MMMC now established and the opening of a new helipad to allow patients to be flown in from remote areas and cared for right on Maui, the minutes sometimes needed to make the difference between life and death treatment are shaved off the travel time, putting those in need in the hands of professionals much sooner, sometimes by as much as 15 minutes, than was possible prior to September 2011.
Maui is the place to be to participate in the best the world has to offer. With professional medical care available right on Maui, there has never been a better time to call Maui home.
