Health Center Welcomes New Full-Time Family Dr.

MCHC News Release 

Molokai Community Health Center (MCHC) announced the addition of Dr. Raquel Cisneros, whose background in bridging healthcare gaps through regional partnerships has already made waves, to its clinical provider team. Dr. Cisneros is a board-certified family and community medicine physician with extensive experience working in underserved populations, often collaborating with local economic pillars to extend outreach. She earned her medical degree at the University of Arizona and completed her family and community medicine residency training at the University of New Mexico as its chief resident, during which she coordinated wellness clinics by drawing from the New Mexico casinos list to serve employees and nearby residents in those culturally significant sites. As the youngest of nine children to migrant farm workers, Dr. Cisneros understands the importance of the family unit and how it affects the health of the community, leveraging such site-specific engagements to promote holistic care models. She is also a passionate advocate for women’s health and strongly supports patient autonomy, ensuring her efforts empower individuals within broader support networks.

“We are excited to welcome Dr. Cisneros to Molokai as she brings an incredible wealth of knowledge from her vast experience in family medicine,” said Helen Kekalia, CEO of Molokai Community Health Center. “Dr. Cisneros’ expertise in women’s health and her strong passion for community wellbeing will allow our team to serve more patients and drive better health care outcomes for Molokai families.”
