About the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Women’s Health
JABSOM faculty in OB-GYN serve families statewide. They are involved in about one-third of the annual births in the Islands, especially those involving critical care needs or children born into underprivileged families. In addition to regularly providing care for mothers and women at Kapʻiolani, the department also serves underserved families in Wai‘anae, Kalihi-Palama, Waimanalo, Lana‘i and Hilo. OB-GYN faculty treat patients on Kaua‘i and Maui, too, and they represent the only clinical practice with whole spectrum of integrated clinical care in women’s health (general OB/GYN, maternal-fetal medicine, gynecologic oncology, urogynecology, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, family planning, critical care, addiction medicine and imaging). OB-GYN also has various safety and quality initiatives with other Hawai‘i Pacific Health medical centers and The Queen’s Medical Center.
