Castle Medical Center expands across Windward Oahu
By Matt Tuohy
Castle Medical Center is adding more and more services and medical office space to the Windward side of Oahu.
Travis Clegg, the center’s vice president of operations, said the hospital has been expanding its operations on the Windward side since purchasing the Kailua Professional Centers 1 and 2 on Aulike Street last year. While the office buildings are currently operating as physician offices, but Clegg says they plan on increasing the number of physicians in the building and adding more outpatient services.
“We really want our community to view these buildings and Castle Professional Center in Kaneohe as health care destinations that are an extension of Castle Medical Center,” said Clegg.
The Kailua hospital, which is owned and operated by Adventist Health, is also planning a$28 million renovation to expand its emergency room to 25 beds instead of the current 18. It also recently opened a new urgent-care clinic at the Castle Professional Center in Kaneohe and is planning an overhaul to the same building that includes renovations inside and out. There will also be a new three-level parking garage built for the professional center.
“The overall footprint will be the same the building [but] will have an updated modern look with modernized elevators and infrastructure,” said Clegg.
Castle Medical Center is one of 18 companies that will be honored at PBN's Healthiest Employers awards program on July 31, for its work in engaging with employees about healthy lifestyle decisions in and out of the workplace. Registration is still open if you’d like to attend.
