".... That's where the proposed Malulani Health Systems, Inc. (501(c)3), comes in.
It would be proposed 40 acre site, adjacent to the Maui Research and Technology Park in Kihei.

The State Health Planning and Development Agency rejected both Malulani's proposal to build a $212 million private hospital in Kihei.
When he issued his decision against Malulani, SHPDA Administrator Dr. David Sakamoto said, among other things,
that a proposed second hospital would negatively impact Maui Memorial."

After looking closely at the situation, it declined. Members were worried about the Maui health care political situation,

We will only be able to get a hospital system to build a new state-of-the-art hospital, not purchase MMMC. "
