WAILUKU – Kaiser Permanente Hawaii recently announced plans to open a Rehabilitation Specialty Center at 75 Maui Lani Parkway in Wailuku, expanding access to quality health care for Maui residents.

The new 9,300-square-foot center will house physical and occupational therapies, physiatry, neurology and occupational health services.

“Establishing this Rehabilitation Specialty Center will provide our members with a comprehensive range of related health services in one location while allowing for the expansion of other specialty care services at our nearby Wailuku Clinic, including OB/GYN, general surgery, dermatology, oncology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology and orthopedics,” said David Ulin, M.D., Maui physician in charge.

“Our new center will allow us to better accommodate and respond to the community of Maui’s need for high-quality health care by providing coordinated rehabilitation services all under one roof.”

The new center, called Maui Lani Elua, will be located next door to Kaiser Permanente’s Maui Lani Clinic and close to its Wailuku Clinic.

Construction of the Rehabilitation Specialty Center is expected to be complete by fall 2013.

Kaiser Permanente service locations also include clinics in Lahaina and Kihei, and a Behavioral Health Services office on Wells Street in Wailuku.

Last year, the organization expanded and renovated its pharmacy at Maui Lani Clinic, opened Rainbow Dialysis Center at its Wailuku Clinic and relocated CT scan services to the Maui Lani Clinic.
