The Queen’s Medical Center is a nonprofit hospital that has been providing care for the people of Hawaii and the Pacific Basin for 162 years. As the flagship hospital of The Queen’s Health System and the largest private hospital in Hawaii, QMC serves as the major tertiary and quaternary referral center for a range of specialties and provides the only organ transplantation program in the state. It hosts the busiest emergency department in Hawaii, which operates as the only level I trauma center and cares for nearly 70,000 patients annually. QMC began an emergency department expansion in May 2023 that will more than double the number of rooms, upgrade the trauma center to accommodate new medical technology and expand behavioral health services. It is the primary teaching hospital for most residency programs at the University of Hawai´i John A. Burns School of Medicine, and it also invests in scholarship and training programs at community colleges, undergraduate and graduate schools. QMC has been recognized as the No. 1 Hospital in Hawaii by U.S. News and World Report for 11 consecutive years and was rated as high performing for eight specialties.
