The Queen’s Health Systems is continuing its West Oahu expansion with plans to open a family health center at the Ocean Pointe subdivision to increase access to primary care in the growing community.

In addition to primary care, the 15,000-square-foot medical office building at 91-6390 Kapolei Parkway will offer diagnostic and wellness services. Queen’s is hiring nine providers and 30 staff and is leasing space to Diagnostic Laboratories Services. The $7.9 million center is slated to open this winter.

The health care provider also is investing $38 million to expand acute care and emergency services at the Queen’s Medical Center-West, where it is building an eight-story parking structure with 540 stalls to accommodate a significant increase in demand. The expansion will also add specialty clinics and medical-surgical units and increase the number of beds at the 80-bed hospital.

Queen’s partnered with the state’s largest health insurer, Hawaii Medical Service Association, to develop the family health center, which will treat patients with all types of health insurance.
