Big Island Real Estate – Hilo Medical Center to Get $3.7 Million for Improvements

The Hilo Medical Center on the Big Island of Hawaii will be getting $3.7 million in state funding for improvements. According to Governor Neil Abercrombie, the capital improvement funds represent an investment in Hilo Medical Center as an essential part of our public hospital system. As elements of the Affordable Care Act come online, we must continue to invest in our health care infrastructure to ensure that facilities are ready to provide access to quality health care for all the people of Hawaii.
Specifically, the money would be broken down as follows:
$1,052,000 to renovate acute care unit
$728,000 to replace medical center’s atrium wall and roof
$650,000 to repair leaking roofs
$350,000 to replace chiller pipes for air conditioning systems
$235,000 for parking lot improvements
$233,000 to demolish an old building that is partially collapsed
$200,000 to build storage tanks
$134,000 to replace add a masonry wall around the behavioral health unit
