About Queen's North Hawaii Comm Hosp

The Queen's Health System is a nonprofit health care organization with a rich history of caring for the people of Hawaii.

And, as the state's largest employer, we have 10,000 caregivers, medical staff, and leadership to help you achieve optimal health and wellness.

Explore Our History

It all started in 1859 when Queen Emma and King Kamehameha IV founded The Queen's Hospital to address the health care needs of the people of Hawaii during a time when epidemics plagued the island of Oahu. Little did they know that their efforts more than 160 years ago would grow into the legacy it has become today. In 1967, it was renamed The Queen's Medical Center and then in 1985, the nonprofit The Queen's Health System was established. Today, we are a health care leader throughout Hawaii and the Pacific Basin, delivering comprehensive health care services and programs to Native Hawaiians and all people of Hawaii.
