Learn moreNo hospital on the North Shore
No hospital exists on Kauai's North Shore -- Princeville residents rely on Wilcox Medical Center in Lihue, roughly 30 miles and 40-50 minutes away under normal driving conditions.
A distance compounded by single-road access
That already-substantial distance is made materially worse by the North Shore's real, demonstrated single-road-access vulnerability -- during a landslide or flood event, the route to hospital-level care can be significantly extended or entirely blocked.
