suggestions for a name for a hospital

[jkirk]

Who cares if they don't stress it correctly?  It's a nice musical word full
of vowells and its meaning is so appropriate.

As I recall, kahuuna is a Hawaiian word meaning shaman (or something like).
It has become slang in English as "the big kahuna" meaning the big shot, the
boss, and so on. JK
