All guest rooms in the Malia Tower — known for its large rooms — have been remodeled and updated to include modern amenities such as new 32-inch televisions, complimentary high-speed Internet access, refrigerator, safe and energy-efficient air-conditioning system.

KAISER MOANALUA PROJECT ENTERS PHASE II

Kaiser Permanente said the second phase of the expansion and renovation of its Moanalua Medical Center campus will begin this spring with the complete renovation of Moanalua's six-floor ancillary wing.

The $140 million makeover will cover 158,000 square feet of space and result in the the addition of more than 80 patient beds, family waiting areas, a meditation room, advanced imaging technology and an outdoor garden lānai for patients and staff.

In April 2008, Kaiser Permanente completed Phase I of the project with the unveiling of a new six-story, 134,000-square-foot tower. The $130 million Phase I project was the first major renovation since the medical center opened in 1985.
