Sorry, but I doubt this. I don't doubt inquiries were made, but I sincerely doubt anyone at any hospital answered those inquiries.
Why do I doubt this? Because I know how hospitals work and how the HIPAA law works. The very first thing the hospital would do in response to an inquiry is establish whether the inquirer had any right to the information. If the answer is "no," they won't even look for the information. And if a hospital did have information, if they release it without authorization it would make them liable to a large fine and even imprisonment.
Earth Frisk Blog says they have contacted every hospital in Honolulu and says there is no record of Obama’s birth at any Hawaii hospital and no record for Obama’s mother at any Hawaii hospital.
All of the following hospitals were called or visited from November 20 through December 2nd, 2008. It was confirmed that OBAMA was not born in any hospital in Honolulu County! NONE!
Hospital employees were bribed and some gave info for free.

Earth Frisk Blog contends they were pretty detailed in their calls and visits thanks to dozens of native Hawaiian patriots. To the College Republicans all over the Island kudos. You can look at every hospital here and call or visit any of them. Everyone has a family member working in a hospital. Talk, pay and bribe. You can file freedom of information acts, you can do everything and anything you wish. Barack Obama was never born in a hospital in Hawaii as claimed.

Well, this account, http://www.theobamafile.com/_images/ObamaBornQueensMedical.jpg from the Honolulu Star-Bulletin casts doubt on both Obama and the Kapi’olani Medical Center. According to this account, Obama was born at Queen’s Medical Center.
Here, Obama, himself, says he was born at Queen’s Medical Center. http://www.theobamafile.com/_images/ObamaQueensHospital.jpg
And liberal talker Bill press says he was born at Queens medical Center. http://books.google.com/books?id=bjZyYK4030IC&pg=PA231&lpg=PA231&dq=toxic+talk+%22queens+medical+center%22&source=bl&ots=EBvOpsk39y&sig=fM7XwFfzQjmNiweFGVm93Jn5GwQ&hl=en&ei=SoPlTLHQBcWAlAfRuaX4Cw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBYQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false
According to Obama’s Kenyan step-grandmother Sarah, he was born at the Coast Provincial General Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya.
That’s three hospitals that the Obama family has identified as his birthplace. It used be “George Washington slept here.” Now it’s Barack Obama was born here, and here, and here, and...
There will soon be signs everywhere.
Of course this is the problem with Obama and his mythical biography. There are no hard facts. There’s is no “rock solid evidence” about Obama’s life from the year before he was born until he returned from Indonesia to Hawaii. Then there’s only shaky evidence. There is no reason to believe anything that comes from Obama or his sycophants. There are too many unknowns and too many outright lies.
Obama owes the American People the truth.

The hospital in Hawaii where Barack Obama claims he was born refuses to produce any documentation — or even confirm the claim — without permission of Obama himself.
The Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women and Children in Honolulu has posted on its website a letter http://www.theobamafile.com/_images/ObamaHospitalLetter.jpg
on White House stationery dated Jan. 24 in which Obama wrote, “As a beneficiary of the excellence of Kapi’olani Medical Center — the place of my birth — I am pleased to add my voice to your chorus of supporters.”
Kristy Watanabe, the public relations specialist for the hospital refused to confirm or deny the veracity of Obama’s letter claiming he was born at the hospital.
“Our comment to everyone who has been calling is that federal law does not permit us to provide any more details concerning information [about Obama’s birth] without authorization from Mr. Obama,” Watanabe said.
When WorldNetDaily asked Watanabe why the hospital http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=103294
did not contact Obama to ask for authorization, especially given the number of phone calls the hospital was receiving with the request, Watanabe said: “This is our response, and we can’t say anything more than that.”
When asked if a hypothetical elected official pretended to be born at the hospital, would federal law prevent her from disclosing that? If so, which federal law would that be?
“It’s just our policy that without permission we don’t ever answer questions about babies born in the hospital,” she said.
This is not the first time Kapi’olani and other Hawaiian hospitals have slammed the door on attempts to ascertain specifics about Obama’s birth.
