Molokai’s rural community has always been treated like the unwanted step child. On January 14, Ohana by Hawaiian is suspending services to Molokai. Imagine being immobile or not able to meet Mokulele Airlines weight restriction but need to travel off island for medical services. What are the options? Move to one of the bigger islands, leaving family, friends, and your home behind, or forego treatment and pray it doesn’t have devastating consequences. These are choices Molokai residents shouldn’t have to make. In a time where stress levels are already high due to all the uncertainties, Molokai residents don’t need this added anxiety and stress. I implore our elected officials to come up with a viable solution to address these concerns.
