Big Resort, No Hospital: Where's Our Priority?

I am truly amazed how misplaced our priorities are. We may end up with a large resort-type development taking place on the North Shore near Turtle Bay, yet we are losing the only hospital on the North Shore.

The idea of building more, increasing the population and then taking away a basic service such as a nearby hospital just doesn't make sense!

How is it that there is support to develop the North Shore, but no money to keep emergency medical services close by?

If this development is allowed to proceed (against the many wishes of the North shore community) I would hope that Kuilima Resort Co. could find a way to financially assist Kahuku Hospital.
