Samuel Mahelona Memorial Hospital

Built on land granted by the Territory of Hawaii, Samuel Mahelona Memorial Hospital is the oldest operating hospital on Kauai. Founded in 1915 as a tuberculosis hospital, it received its name from a member of the Wilcox family who died of tuberculosis as a young man.

In 1951 a new, modern hospital was completed, offering 110 beds to tuberculosis patients.

In the 1960s, with the cure for tuberculosis well established, Mahelona Hospital started performing psychiatric and skilled nursing facility services. In 1986, a full-service Hospice Program was added.

Today, Samuel Mahelona Memorial Hospital is an important asset to the community offering Long-Term Care/Nursing Services...Out-Patient Services for Radiology, Laboratory, Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy...an Acute Psychiatric Unit...a limited number of Acute/SNF swing beds...and a Walk-in Clinic.
