Kapiʻolani Medical Center for Women & Children is moving forward with construction of the Martha B. Smith Cancer & Infusion Center, a new, dedicated space designed to enhance cancer and infusion care for Hawaiʻi’s women and children.

Construction began in February 2026 and is anticipated be completed in Summer 2027.

• Patient care will continue throughout construction.
• Existing cancer and infusion services will remain available, with temporary locations clearly communicated if needed.
• Wayfinding signage and staff support will be available to help guide patients and visitors.

If any changes to access, parking, or service locations occur, updates will be shared in advance whenever possible.

With construction underway on the Martha B. Smith Cancer & Infusion Center, some areas within the medical center have been temporarily reconfigured to support the project.

During this time:

• Portions of the Main Hospital lobby and hallway areas are temporarily closed due to construction barricades.
• Some departments and services have been temporarily relocated to other areas on campus to allow construction to proceed safely.

Departments and services that have been relocated include:

• Admissions & Guest Registration – 2nd Floor (Shared Services Building)
• Financial Services – 2nd Floor (Shared Services Building)
• Gift Shop – 2nd Floor (Diamond Head Tower)
• Information Desk – 2nd Floor (Diamond Head Tower, Dining Room)
• Medical Records – 3rd Floor (Diamond Head Tower)
• Patient Relations – 3rd Floor (Diamond Head Tower)

Clear signage is posted throughout the medical center. If you have an appointment, please allow extra time for wayfinding and arrival.

Parking and entry points at Kapiʻolani have been adjusted to support construction activity and ensure safety.

• The Punahou Parking Structure is closed for the duration of the construction project.
• All patients, visitors, staff and physicians are directed to park in the Kapiʻolani Parking Garage.
• Due to consolidated parking, congestion may occur during peak daytime hours.

• The Punahou side entrances, including the former gift shop entrance, are closed.
• Patients, visitors, and vendors should enter the medical center through the main entrances off Bingham Street or the patient drop-off circle.

Wayfinding signs and on-site staff will assist with parking, entrances, and navigating the campus.

We understand that construction can be disruptive, especially in a healthcare setting. Our teams are working closely with clinical staff, facilities, and construction partners to ensure safety, minimize impacts and maintain a calm, supportive environment for patients and families.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to create a space that will serve our community for generations to come.

The Martha B. Smith Cancer & Infusion Center will bring multiple cancer related services for women and children together in a thoughtfully designed and expanded environment focused on comfort, healing and continuity of care.

The new 18,300-square-foot center will include:

• Expanded adult and pediatric infusion areas
• Specialized treatment and support spaces
• A healing garden to create a welcoming experience for patients and families.

It will accommodate the latest technology and treatments for pediatric, breast, and gynecologic cancers, as well as auto-immune and neuromuscular diseases, and other conditions that require lifesaving infusions.
