THE IMAGE OF PROGRESS! It took years and lots of brains and hands to envision, plan, fund and bring to life the hospital's expansion project. We're nearing two years since our ground breaking celebration. The progress has happened right before our eyes. This is one of the key solutions to addressing our bed shortage issue. While we work to add on a new 19-bed ICU and 36 hospital beds and, in the very near future, start construction on our Family Birthing Unit, we continue to face the ongoing overcapacity issues. So many in our growing community need hospital care. We thank our patients for their patience and our staff for answering the call to care for our patients while we are overcapacity. As a reminder to our patients and their loved ones, please call our team of transporters at 808.747.0275 if you need a ride from your car to your appointment and back. If you would like to valet your car, we also have a service at the hospital's main entrance that costs $8 and comes with the friendliest staff!
