Emergency and Trauma Care
Emergencies are unexpected, and fortunately, the community on Kauaʻi has Wilcox Medical Center when immediate medical attention is needed. Wilcox is Kauaʻi's only Level III Trauma Center and the first in Hawaiʻi to be verified by the American College of Surgeons.
- Wilcox’s Emergency Department averages 25,000 visits annually.
- Wilcox averages 500 trauma activations per year.

- As a not-for-profit medical center, Wilcox cares for every patient regardless of their ability to pay.

Imaging Revitalization Project
Diagnostic devices are critical to providing urgent, emergent and critically ill patients the best possible care on Kauaʻi. In 2026, Wilcox Medical Center blessed its new interventional radiology suite, the first of its kind on Kauaʻi. Now, the Wilcox Health Foundation's fundraising campaign will go toward a new computed tomography (CT) scanner.
- The Wilcox Imaging team performed more than 13,400 CT exams and 104 CT-supported procedures, including biopsies and angiographies, in 2025.
- CT scanners quickly take a series of high-quality X-ray images of the body from different angles. Wilcox's experienced teams use the exceptionally clear images to help detect and monitor diseases and conditions, including cancer and heart disease.
- CT scans are also used to help diagnose muscle and bone disorders, as well as fractures and bone tumors.

Serving both inpatient and outpatient individuals, the Mālama Fund supports some of the most vulnerable members of the community, helping them access crucial medical assistance and improving their overall health and well-being.
- In the past five years, the Mālama Fund has provided support to hundreds of patients needing critical support and services for recovery.
