In 1859 Queen Emma and King Kamehameha IV founded The Queen’s Health Systems with a dream: to provide quality health care for the people of Hawai‘i. Their legacy lives on today—and with your support, it will continue to shape a vibrant, healthier future for generations to come.

By including Queen’s in your estate plan, you join in partnership with the King and Queen’s enduring vision—ensuring that compassionate care and healing remain accessible to all who call Hawai‘i home. A bequest or gift from your estate is one of the most meaningful ways to extend your legacy and safeguard the future of health care in our islands.

A bequest:

·       Should not alter your current lifestyle in any way.

·       Is easy to arrange.

·       Can be easily modified to address your changing needs.

For bequests that designate your gift to support a specific program or fund, you are encouraged to call Queen’s Philanthropy at (808) 691-4994 prior to writing your will.

Within The Queen’s Health Systems there are multiple entities you can support with your gift. Below you will find a list of the entities with their accompanying Tax ID numbers.
