About Kapi‘olani Medical Center for Women & Children
Kapiʻolani Medical Center for Women & Children has been caring for Hawaiʻi’s women, infants, children, and families for more than a century. Founded in 1890 by Queen Kapiʻolani with a vision to improve the health of mothers and children, the medical center continues that legacy today by providing comprehensive, compassionate care for patients across the state.
As Hawaiʻi’s only full-service children’s hospital and a recognized leader in women’s health, Kapiʻolani brings together specialists, advanced technology, and coordinated care to support patients and families at every stage of life.
