A Culture of health & safety

The health, safety and well-being of our haumāna is our greatest priority. Residents can expect multi-faceted support to address their well-being needs. Our Residential Life haumāna will experience a collaborative staffing model that capitalizes on the training and skills of our staff team and is built to create a comprehensive community of support.

Maintaining a healthy and safe learning environment and residential community for all of our haumāna requires all members to be pono in their behavior and in their relationships with others. Unkindness and bullying (in any form) is not tolerated.


Medical services

The Mālama Ola Health Service Department (HSD) is responsible for all aspects of student health on campus which includes providing basic healthcare services to students. All campus health rooms are staffed by a Registered Nurse who may be supported by a Medical Assistant. The Medical Director oversees the care provided by the nurses.

HSD does not replace the student’s primary care provider, but does become part of each student’s healthcare team. HSD provides basic primary care services for acute conditions and can assist with disease management.
