For the past 40 years, Hospice Hawaii has worked diligently to support our patients’ choices, preserve their dignity, and allow them to live life as fully as possible. Over the course of our history, we’ve seen so many people living with serious but treatable illnesses who aren’t yet ready for hospice but require support services to improve their quality of life.

President's Message

By Tori Abe Carapelho

After months of strategic planning, I’m excited to announce Hospice Hawaii’s evolution to Navian Hawaii! What began as a venture to provide quality end-of-life care for the people of Hawaii has grown considerably over the past 40 years, and it’s only fitting that we mark our milestone 40th anniversary with a new name for our organization and an expanded purpose to provide care for every life journey.

#MyNavian: The Navian Hawaii Story

Navian: It’s likely a word you’d never heard of before reading this newsletter. Formed from the words “Navigator” and “Guardian,” Navian reflects our commitment to serving and advocating for our patients and their families by steering them to calmer waters and protecting their personal wishes. For every single one of our patients and their loved ones, we want to be a Navian—a supportive, guiding light to illuminate their journey ahead. Click here to read more…

Remembrance Wall

The Remembrance Wall was created by Navian Hawaii to recognize the outstanding generosity of families, businesses and foundations that have donated $1,000 or more in a single contribution or memorials that have raised $1,000 or more. As a non-profit organization, Navian Hawaii relies on donor support to provide expert care in times of need. Just as we help patients and their families navigate toward hope, our Remembrance Wall symbolizes the journey each of us will sail. Remembrance Ceremonies are hosted to celebrate the lives of those who have journeyed onward. Guests are invited to add their loved one’s sail to the other beloved sails on our wall.
