In Keaau, HI, the Children with Special Health Needs Program (CSHNP) is dedicated to ensuring that children and youth with special health care needs, ages 0-21, achieve optimal health, growth, and development. This compassionate program serves those with chronic medical conditions that require specialized care, offering a range of essential services including information and referral, service coordination, nutrition services, and specialized assistance for hearing and vision needs. CSHNP also provides critical transition planning to adult health care, access to medical specialty clinics across the Neighbor Islands, and limited financial aid for families in need. We support children through various medical essentials such as specialist visits, laboratory tests, prescription medications, and travel expenses for receiving care. Families can easily apply for assistance by contacting us directly, and care providers can submit referrals to ensure that every child receives the support they need.
