Additional physicians, nine added exam rooms, waiting room upgrades and new services will be unveiled during an open house from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. for the expanded Primary Care Clinic of North Hawaii Community Hospital.

The Primary Care Clinic, located next to Longs Drugs in Waimea, serves patients of all ages from throughout North Hawaii, offering comprehensive primary care services such as same-day urgent care appointments for established patients as well as top specialists through The Queen’s Health Systems. In addition to expanded wound care and behavioral health services, the expanded clinic also will offer telehealth, pulmonology and neurology care.

“Having a primary care doctor — one person who oversees your overall health — has been shown to keep you healthier as you age,” said Cindy Kamikawa, president of North Hawaii Community Hospital. “… Our expanded primary care services right here in town make it even easier for people to get the care they need close to home.”

The open house will feature tours, demonstrations, health screenings and giveaways along with the opportunity to meet all of the Primary Care Clinic’s physicians and staff.
