Wahiawa General has seen its average daily ambulance transfers increase dramatically, and business has surged 10-20 percent since HMC’s closure.  

In December, HMC announced in bankruptcy court that it could not reach a sale price for its two hospitals with Ontario, Calif.-based Prime Healthcare Services, forcing closure of both of its facilities.
