More than 100 Kaiser Permanente physicians, providers, nurses, clinical and administrative staff, and their family members came together on Martin Luther King Jr. Day to serve at Paeloko Learning Center as part of the 2026 Kaiser Permanente Hawaiʻi Annual Day of Service, hosted by Hawaiʻi Permanente Medical Group. 

Kaiser Permanente Hawaiʻi is expanding its Hawaiʻi Health Access Program to provide affordable, high-quality health care to more residents.

Kaiser Permanente Moanalua Medical Center has been named by US News & World Report as a 2024-2025 Best Hospital.

Kaiser Permanente Hawaiʻi has awarded grants totaling $1,491,882 to two local nonprofits and one public university to expand behavioral health care services for the houseless on Hawaiʻi Island and accelerate mental health professional training and licensure throughout the state.

The Kaiser Permanente Lahaina Clinic sign was all that was left standing after the Aug. 8 wildfire swept through historic Lahaina town and leveled the Waineʻe Street clinic where doctors and nurses cared for patients’ colds and flu, broken bones and expectant moms since opening its doors in 1969. And, so a 7.5-foot woven lei was a fitting way to connect the past, present and future at Kaiser’s official Hoʻōla (meaning to rejuvenate, to give life and energy, to heal) event Tuesday at the clinic’s new 5,200-square-foot location at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort in Kāʻanapali.

Kaiser Permanente Hawaiʻi announced the selection of its new president of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and Hospitals Hawaiʻi, Edmund “Ed” Chan. Chan’s roots in Hawaiʻi began early in his career. In 2000, after completing his Registered Dietitian training in Boston, he accepted a position as a clinical dietitian for Hale Makua Health Services in Kahului, Maui. Chan also took on roles at the Community Clinic of Maui and served as a consultant dietitian to Maui Youth & Family Services.
