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.
