To make services and care more accessible and convenient for the community, Kaiser Permanente Hawai‘i will open its newest facility — West O‘ahu Medical Office at Kapolei — on Monday, April 5.

Kaiser Permanente has cared for the people of Hawai‘i since 1958 — more than 60 years,” says John Yang, M.D., president and medical director of Hawai‘i Permanente Medical Group Inc. “We’ve had a smaller facility in Kapolei for more than 20 years. It’s a growing community, and we want to continue to grow with it.”

Located on the corner of Kapolei Parkway and Kamokila Boule- vard, the 40,000-square-foot facility offers a vast array of services, including primary care for families, prevention and wellness pro- grams, mental health services, a laboratory and pharmacy, as well as women’s health services; general radiology, mammography and ultrasound imaging; and urgent care that will be open nights, weekends and holidays.
