About Us
Since we opened our doors in March of 2014 our goal has been to provide students with quality education to not only further their knowledge, but to bring a new source of healthcare professionals to Hawaii.
Our Mission
The staff at MPMTI feels that it is our obligation to provide you with the best education throughout the extent of the course. We will provide you with the knowledge of how to, "Integrate Excellence in Training with Quality Care," in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. We are committed to the fact that, "Your success, is our success." In return, we expect all trainees to be 100% committed for the duration of the program with no absentees or tardiness.

Linda Sweinhart, Administrator
Coming from a background in Tropical Ecosystems & Agroforestry Management (received my Associate in Science Degree at Hawaii Community College), I find it new and exciting to be a part of preparing a new generation to enter the medical field. Before my father became a resident at a Long Term Care facility here in Hilo, I was his caregiver for 4 years while his Alzheimer's disease rapidly progressed. Growing up my parents taught me to be kind and caring and it reflects in my nature and is the basis for my involvement in this business.
