"Welcome to the West O`ahu Hope for a Cure web site, a visit into my dream of
not only finding a cure for HIV/AIDS one day, but of helping those whose lives
have been afflicted by terminal illness, hepatitis, STDs or addiction. It's a

to explore the website. Let me know how I can make your life a little better for
you.
- Joseph B. Rattner, O.D., CSAC

Its Ryan White Programs are the largest provider of services for victims of HIV/AIDS in the Unted States.
