There’s no cost to you for any services your child may receive. But before a Hawai‘i Keiki RN can care
for your child, we need your permission. Providing care to your child may include the use of

Remember that a Hawaii Keiki RN doesn’t replace the care your child gets from the doctor or clinic.
We will attempt to contact you before giving your child any medication.
