[quote][i]Originally posted by micpsi[/i] Kapiolani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital didn't change the name until Kauikeolani Children’s Hospital merged with Kapi‘olani Maternity Home in 1978. WIKI: The facility was originally founded by Queen Kapiʻolani as the Kapiʻolani Maternity Home in 1890 for which she held bazaars and luaus to raise $8,000 needed to start the Home. Kauikeolani Children’s Hospital opened in 1909 named for Emma Kauikeolani Napoleon Mahelona (1862–1931), the wife of Albert Spencer Wilcox (1844–1919).[1] In 1978, it merged with Kapiʻolani Maternity Home to become Kapiʻolani Medical Center for Women and Children.
