Honolulu-based Hawaii Pacific Health has received $4 million from the Hawaii Medical Service Association to support the redevelopment of Straub Benioff Medical Center.

The gift supports the first phase of a three-part expansion project to increase healthcare access. Currently, construction crews are building a new parking garage that will more than triple the number of spaces compared to the hospital’s existing structure, according to a May 14 news release. 

Hawaii Pacific Health is also expanding Hilo (Hawaii) Benioff Medical Center in an $80 million project. 

The next redevelopment phase will involve demolishing the old parking garage to build a multistory medical tower. The new facility will feature an expanded emergency department and larger patient and operating rooms, the release said. 

Straub Benioff, a 159-bed hospital, will name its new meeting and conference center in recognition of HMSA’s contribution. 

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
