Purpose

Currently there is no major medical facility in West Maui and this addition will serve up to 70,000 residents, employees and visitors in West Maui. The nearest Hospital is 45 minutes to over an hour away and the highway experiences frequent congestion and closures due to accidents, fire and waves overtopping roadway.

Project Description

This project will provide construction funding and land acquisition for a Critical Access Hospital in West Maui that will include 25 acute and sub-acute beds, five emergency room (ER) bays and three operating rooms (ORs). It is being lead privately by the West Maui Hospital Foundation.
