Health centers across Maui County are expanding COVID-19 vaccination efforts to overcome any access-to-care obstacles that residents may face in rural communities.
“I think the health centers are doing an incredible job given the limited resources we had up until now,” said Cheryl Vasconcellos, executive director of Hana Health. “It’s been financially challenging, it’s been challenging for all of our staff and community, so we’re getting there and I’m really proud of the progress we’re making. We’ve really done some incredible things because it’s been a learning curve for all of us.”

Love’s Bakery officially closed its doors on Wednesday, wrapping up nearly 170 years of producing classic white and wheat loaves, old fashioned and powdered doughnuts, hot dog and burger buns, bagels and English muffins that became a staple in many households, lunchboxes and family cookouts.
The iconic local bakery had announced March 1 that it planned to shut down and lay off more than 231 employees after losing about 20 percent of its revenue last year due to COVID-19.
