History Of Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children
Queen Kapiolani established the Kapiolani Maternity Home in 1890 to ensure the women and children of Hawaii had access to proper quality health care. Though the queen had no children of her own, she cherished the Hawaiian concept of ohana and the role the mother played in nourishing, rearing and caring for the family unit. Therefore, she made it her lifes mission to better the health of her people by starting at the source – improving childbirth for mothers and babies. In 2020, Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children honors our founders legacy by taking pause to reflect on our history of being Hawaiis maternity leader for 130 years. Join us in celebrating Kapiolani Medical Centers 130th Maternity Anniversary as we continue to create a healthier Hawaii for future generations of mothers, children and families.
For more than 100 years, Kapiolani has been dedicated to providing exceptional care to Hawaiis women and children. Our mission is to create a healthier Hawaii. We believe that working together, we can make the greatest impact on individuals, families and our communities.
