The future Kapi‘olani NICU and PICU building.
Supporting the Campaign
For Hawai‘i’s Children
Thanks to the overwhelming support of generous donors from the community, the Campaign for
Hawai‘i’s Children exceeded its $30 million goal, raising $35,082,930 in support of the Phase I
renovation and expansion of Kapi‘olani Medical Center for Women & Children.
Co-chaired by Dee Jay Mailer and Bert Kobayashi, the Campaign for Hawai‘i’s Children supported
the first phase of a multi-year master plan to entirely rebuild the hospital. Construction on
Kapi‘olani’s new Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit building is underway and will be done
by March 2016.
Completion of the campaign ensures that the most critically ill children and babies born pre-term
or with low birth weight receive care in a family-centered environment. The new building will
also feature a new rehabilitation services department and an education center to support training
programs for Hawai‘i’s future doctors, nurses and allied health professionals in pediatrics and
women’s care.
In May 2014, a celebratory event honored
the campaign milestone, which included a
surprise donation that increased the total
raised from $34M to $35M.
MAHALO TO OUR DONORS FOR HELPING US EXCEED OUR GOAL.
