Spreading the word on St. Francis

The St. Francis Healthcare System of Hawaii serves about 2,000 people but is looking to get more name recognition and to expand, said Maggie Jarrett, the new marketing director.

"The system was established in 1984 but didn't get operational until January 1996 and a lot of people in the community don't know about it yet," Jarrett said.

Subsidiaries of the St. Francis Healthcare System of Hawaii include St. Francis Medical Center, St. Francis-West in Ewa and the St. Francis Foundation of Hawaii. There are also outreach services on Maui, Kauai and the Big Island.

St. Francis' expansion plans include a new office building and new hospice in Ewa and a new office building in Liliha.

Jarrett has 15 years experience in health-care marketing and public relations, including eight years at The Queen's Medical Center. She also worked at the University of Missouri Medical Center and Northeast Missouri State University.
