Hawaii Health TV was created by founders Peter Leiataua AhChing, a senior medical student at the John A. Burns School of Medicine, and Hoku award winner Palakiko Thomson Enos of the Typical Hawaiians. Together they say, their aim is to "bring health education and healing island music to help build a healthier Hawai'i."

Hawaii Health TV (H2TV) has four goals:

— To educate about common medical conditions and health care topics in Hawaii.

— To foster and ask for good partnership between patients, their families and medical providers.

— To improve medication use compliance by reminding patients to take their medications.

— To emphasize the importance of follow up appointments with medical providers.

Filmed episodes showing in 2007 include:

— Diabetes

— Ice (Methamphetamine) addiction

— Quit Smoking

— Alcoholism

— Depression in the holidays.

New episodes to follow include episodes dealing with gout, asthma, HIV and AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and many more.
