Multiple outlets reported that Kaiser Permanente Hawaii and Maui Health have announced plans to open a new permanent clinic in Lahaina, nearly three years after the original facility was destroyed in the August 2023 wildfires. The announcement marks a significant step in West Maui’s healthcare recovery, though no construction timeline or opening date has been set.
- The new Lahaina Clinic will be located at 910 Honoapiilani Highway on a 3.5-acre site near the Pioneer Mill smokestack.
- Kaiser Permanente’s original Lahaina Clinic — its first Neighbor Island location — was destroyed in the August 8, 2023 wildfires that killed 102 people.
- No opening date or construction timeline has been announced; planning and design will be guided by community needs.
- A temporary 5,200-square-foot modular clinic was established on the grounds of the Hyatt Regency Maui in March 2024 to serve the community in the interim. (KITV)
- Kaiser Permanente also purchased the Maui News campus in 2025 to support expansion of health services near Maui Memorial Medical Center in Wailuku. (KITV)
- Mayor Richard Bissen welcomed the announcement, calling healthcare access essential to Lahaina’s rebuilding efforts.
- The project is a partnership between Kaiser Permanente Hawaii and Maui Health, combining resources to expand care access for West Maui residents and visitors.
