Future Cancer & Infusion Center
Kapiolani is embarking on a capital campaign to build The Martha B. Smith Cancer & Infusion Center at Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children that will provide care for cancer and other infusion treatments. Kapiolani provides the most specialized services for pediatric cancer care in the state. We serve as Hawaii’s only dedicated bone marrow collection and transplant site for children, with an average of 95% of pediatric patients on clinical trials. The future center will elevate the patient care experience and enhance innovative treatment options for families.
Child Life Services
Kapiolani’s Child Life Services encompasses three areas: Child Life Specialists, Education Liaison Tutoring Program, and Integrated Services. The Child Life Specialists manage the play therapy program and the Playroom, a dedicated space where pediatric patients can play in a safe haven and forget about being hospitalized. The Education Liaison connects patients to school and helps them keep up with their assignments. Integrated Services offers natural and holistic therapies such as aromatherapy and infant massage.

Women’s Care
Women have unique health needs and concerns, and often put their families’ health first. Women’s Center funding has allowed us to purchase state-of-the-art equipment, provide medication and medical supplies to patients in need, and further our public and patient education and outreach. The Kapiolani Women’s Center is the first Oahu facility to be named a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the doctors who specialize in mammography and breast diagnostics by the American College of Radiology.
