For 100 years, Kapi‘olani Medical Center for Women & Children has been caring for Hawaii’s children. This legacy of care began in 1909 with Hawaii’s original children’s hospital, Kauikeolani Children’s Hospital. It continues today with Kapi‘olani Medical Center.
Now, as in the beginning, we are dedicated to providing Hawaii’s families with the very best medical care.
As we celebrate the last 100-years of care, plans are underway to ensure the next century of care. Thanks to the support of the community, Kapi‘olani Medical Center for Women & Children will continue to carry out its non-profit mission well into the next century.
