Dr. Adam Robinson

Director

Friday, April 9, 2021

This week Veterans Administration (VA) awarded the lease to locate the Advanced Leeward Outpatient Healthcare Access (ALOHA) project at Kalaeloa under a 15-year lease. When completed, the $120 million ALOHA Project will be a new 88,675 square-foot multi-specialty VA clinic that will provide Primary Care, Mental Health, Specialty Care, Audiology, Women Veterans Care, Physical and Occupational Therapy, Dental and Prosthetics.

We are proud to be expanding the much needed services to our Veterans.  The ALOHA project will increase access to VA’s advanced technology, top providers and staff who will bring safe, compassionate, quality care to them.  We appreciate all of the support from our congressional and community partners who have helped to make this a reality.
