  1. A valid photo identification (a driver’s license, a passport, green card or a valid state of Hawaiʻi ID).
  2. Proof of residency (this can include a bill addressed to you, such as cable, water or electric bill, or a signed lease).

Does Wahiawā Health provide emotional support animal certification?

While we understand how important pets can be to the physical and emotional health of our patients, Wahiawā Health does not provide emotional support animal verification letters.

Because emotional support animals are not required to meet the stringent requirements of a service animal, our providers are unable to verify that your pet has completed the training needed to ensure public safety.

To find a licensed therapist who may provide you with a verification letter, please visit: https://www.esaregistration.org/faq/

Wahiawā Health looks forward to continuing to provide you and your family with access to affordable, quality and wellness services to promote a healthy community.

Mahalo for your understanding.

Americans with Disabilities Act – Service and Emotional Support Animals
Service animals are defined by Title II and Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability.

Emotional support animals, comfort animals, and therapy dogs are not considered service animals under Title II and Title III of the ADA. Other types of animals, wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are also not considered service animals. The duties performed by service animals must be directly related to an individual’s disability.

The ADA does not recognize letters from providers to consider the animal to be a service animal.
