Castle Medical Center is a 160-bed medical center located in Windward Oahu. It provides a full range of services, including: acute care, 24-hour emergency services, outpatient and home care, wellness and lifestyle medicine, chemotherapy clinic, Surgical Weight Loss Institute, Hawaii Muscular Dystrophy Clinic, Joint Care Center, birth center and interventional cardiology.
In 1953, the Windward Community Association began a campaign for a hospital to be established in Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii. Dr. Robert Chung, a physician and Mrs. Carolyn Rankin, organizer of a women’s auxiliary, were key leaders in the campaign. Ten acres of land were donated for a building site, the community raised $170,000 to fund the project and the Seventh-day Adventist Church donated $600,000. Although support was received from both the Governor’s Hospital Advisory Council and the 30th Territorial Legislature, the Board of Health refused to designate the area as a separate hospital zone. Their refusal prevented any federal funds from being available.
