(Honolulu) — Kaiser Permanente Hawaii announced it has finalized plans for a new clinic fronting Moanalua Road in Pearlridge Center, further expanding access to quality health care.
Construction of the 12,000-square-foot Pearlridge Clinic is underway with completion scheduled for late 2013. The new clinic will provide family medicine and pediatric care as well as behavioral health, lab and pharmacy services.
“Our members love the convenience of seeing their doctor, completing lab work and filling a prescription all under one roof,” said Janet Liang, President of Kaiser Permanente Hawaii. “This new Pearlridge Clinic, along with our expansion in Kona and Kaneohe, improves access for our current members and positions us well for future growth.
