Queen’s Health System has announced that demolition will begin immediately at the former Hawaii Medical Center in Ewa. Queen’s will spend $70 million to rebuild and refurnish the facility, which will be renamed as Queen’s Medical Center, West Oahu. Senior vice president of Queen’s West Oahu, Susan Murray, stated, “This really is opening a brand-new Queen’s Medical Center West Oahu. It will look and feel different than it ever did before. It will have very much the look and feel of the Queen’s Medical Center downtown.”
The new facility will have a total of 23 emergency rooms and four operating rooms, a significant increase from the 10 emergency room and two operating rooms the the Hawaii Medical Center had. They will also add an intensive care unit, a diagnostic imaging department, and gynecology services. Queens expects to hire 400 employees initially and have between 60 and 80 doctors there in the facility.
