Training tomorrow's physicians
As Hawaii's only children's hospital, Kapi'olani serves as the pediatric teaching hospital for the University of Hawaii School of Medicine and has assisted in training many of Hawaii's pediatricians.
Excellence in medical care
From the special underwater ocean murals and surfboards that adorn the walls, to our child-life specialists skilled in helping patients and their families during their hospital stay, Kapi'olani strives to make our young patients feel at home.
Kapi'olani is Hawaii's only designated pediatric center. It boasts the only emergency room with specialists trained in pediatric emergency medicine, the only Adolescent Unit for the treatment of teens and the only intensive care unit to treat critically-ill children. Kapi'olani is also home to Hawaii's first fully integrated minimally invasive surgical suites, which translate to less pain and a quicker recovery for our patients. In addition, Kapi'olani Children's Specialty Center provides comprehensive care for children with complex medical conditions from developmental and behavioral difficulties to neurological and genetic disorders. Our multidisciplinary teams comprise physician specialists, nurses, therapists and other health providers that specialize in treating children.
Advancing Care Through Clinical Trials
In addition to providing state-of-the-art care, Kapi'olani is also committed to pediatric clinical research to offer Hawaii's children the latest treatment available. Our pediatric oncology program offers more than 95 clinical trials for the treatment of children's cancer — the same treatment available at leading cancer centers across the nation.
Reaching out to the community
Our mission to care and advocate for Hawaii's children does not stop at our doors. Kapi'olani represents the interests of children and their families addressing child safety and key health issues, including asthma and the medically fragile. Most importantly, the hospital is the safety net for those families in need of assistance.
