On August 29, The Queen\u02bbs Health System<\/a> (QHS<\/abbr>) announced it will acquire K\u0101hi M\u014dhala hospital, which will allow the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa John A. Burns School of Medicine<\/a> (JABSOM<\/abbr>) to expand its psychiatry<\/a> training opportunities for students, residents and fellows. The transition is expected to take place this December.<\/p>\n

Currently, JABSOM<\/abbr> Department of Psychiatry faculty serve QHS<\/abbr> as Queen\u2019s University Medical Group physicians, providing care for child and adult psychiatric inpatients and outpatients, mainly at The Queen\u2019s Medical Center in Honolulu. JABSOM<\/abbr> officials said the announcement allows care and learning to reach past Honolulu, while including diverse age groups.<\/p>\n

Located in ʻEwa<\/span> Beach, K\u0101hi M\u014dhala, an 88-bed facility, is the only free standing, not-for-profit hospital-based residential program for behavioral health in the state, serving children, adolescents and adults. <\/p>\n

“Our trainees will play a significant role in serving patients who otherwise would have challenges in accessing care,” said Anthony Guerrero<\/strong>, psychiatry clinical program chief at The Queen\u2019s Medical Center and the chair of psychiatry at JABSOM<\/abbr>. “This expansion will also open doors to multidisciplinary training and workforce development, in collaboration with licensed clinical social workers, clinical psychologists and advanced practice nurses.”<\/p>\n

K\u0101hi M\u014dhala opened in 1983 on 14.5 acres in ʻEwa<\/span> Beach. The current owner of K\u0101hi M\u014dhala is California-based Sutter Health network, which, like The Queen\u2019s Health System, is an integrated, not-for-profit health system.<\/p>\n
