After being medevaced to O’ahu and undergoing a heart procedure just days ago, Hawaii County Mayor Harry Kim is back to work.
Doctors informed the Mayor that he suffered two heart attacks, one in Hilo and the other in Honolulu. Mayor Kim has now had a total of five heart attacks all together.
Just 10 years ago he underwent triple bypass surgery.
There was a 10-year lifespan on the valves in his chest, which doctors informed him of after the initial surgery, as well after this past incident. One of the valves did collapse, but specialists were unsuccessful in fixing it.
Mayor Kim is now on medication.
