Kaiser Permanente Hawaiʻi announced operational plans Saturday for Maui County ahead of an open-ended strike by unionized health care workers scheduled to begin Monday.

While the health provider states all medical facilities will remain open, patients on Maui should expect disruptions to pharmacy services at several locations.

The United Nurses Associations of California/Union of Health Care Professionals issued a notice for a potential open-ended strike beginning Jan. 26. The union represents approximately 240 employees statewide, including pharmacists, rehabilitation therapists and certified registered nurse anesthetists.

This action follows a previous limited duration strike in October 2025.
