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 Hawai‘i during a time when epidemics plagued the island of O‘ahu. 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 Systems was established. Today, we are a health care leader throughout Hawai‘i and the Pacific Basin, delivering comprehensive health care services and programs to Native Hawaiians and all people of Hawai‘i.
Our Mission
To fulfill the intent of Queen Emma and King Kamehameha IV to provide in perpetuity quality health care services to improve the well-being of Native Hawaiians and all of the people of Hawai‘i.
