“I am very grateful for First Hawaiian Bank Foundation’s $10,000 gift to support upgrading the carpet in the lobby of our community hospital,” said Lori Rogers Executive Director of Hilo Medical Center Foundation. “The Foundation supports this endeavor because the current condition of the lobby does not represent the quality healthcare that the hospital and staff deliver.”
