Our organization began in 1989 as the Enterostomal Therapy
Nurses of Hawaii. In 2007, as the Hawaii Affiliate of the Wound
Ostomy Continence Nurses Society, we became incorporated as a
nonprofit [(501(c)(3)] organization. In 2015 we changed our name to
the Hawaii Association for Wound, Ostomy and Continence Care to
become an independent, non-profit organization. Our membership is
comprised of caregivers and professionals in Hawaii with committed
interest and expertise in the care of patients with wounds, ostomies
and incontinence.
