The Maui Medics Healers Hui mobilized immediately in response to the devastating Lāhainā Fires, in August of 2023.

Our health care provider volunteers have been on the west side since the devastating 2023 fires; many of them are from Maui and plan to continue providing care for the long haul.
Our hui provides multidisciplinary care from traditional Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) healers, to western and eastern medicine, as we strive to create spaces for healing after a very traumatizing disaster.
We understand the secondary trauma of a sudden entry and exit that often happens with volunteer groups following a disaster and are committed to being a consistent, long term support during this time of great need for the island of Maui.
When the fires devastated Lāhainā, Mauna Medics mobilized immediately under the guidance of our Maui-based co-founder, Noelani Ahia. As a Kānaka Maoli genealogical descendant of Lāhainā, she led the team in forming the Maui Medic Healers Hui, as a Maui-specific sister organization. Our goal is to develop trust, create spaces of healing, and build communities of care during this time of trauma.
