About Straub Benioff Medical Center
Dr. George F. Straub arrived in Hawaiʻi in the early 1900s with a vision to provide high-quality medical care in a setting where patients always come first. In 1921, that vision became reality with the opening of The Clinic, Honolulu’s first group practice designed to meet the health needs of the entire family in one location.
Over time, The Clinic grew into what is now Straub Benioff Medical Center and Straub Benioff Clinics, continuing a legacy of patient-centered care for communities across Hawaiʻi.
Our LegacyWho We Are
Straub Benioff Medical Center and Straub Benioff Clinics is a fully integrated, not-for-profit healthcare system serving patients throughout Hawaiʻi. The system includes a 159-bed hospital in Honolulu, a network of neighborhood clinics, and a visiting specialist program that extends care across the islands.
With nearly 600 physicians across a wide range of specialties, Straub Benioff provides expert diagnosis and treatment in areas such as orthopedics, cardiac care, neurology, cancer care, endocrinology and diabetes, family medicine, gastroenterology, geriatrics, internal medicine, women’s health, vascular care, and urology.
Straub Benioff is home to the Pacific region’s only multidisciplinary burn care unit and continues to bring advanced technologies and specialized services to Hawaiʻi, including minimally invasive cardiac procedures, total joint replacement, and vascular surgery.
The medical center is also recognized for its commitment to quality and safety, with national recognition for patient experience, patient safety, and cardiac and stroke care. Straub Benioff is accredited by The Joint Commission.
