Kona Community Hospital to Begin Parking Lot Expansion and Improvement Project

July 11, 2025
Kealakekua, HI —Kona Community Hospital (KCH) will begin a parking lot expansion, resurfacing, and paving project on Tuesday, July 15, 2025, with work expected to continue through mid-October. This project is part of the critical infrastructure improvements funded through the Risk of Closure Capital Improvement Project (CIP) allocation provided by the State Legislature and Governor Josh Green.

The project will improve parking access and safety for staff, patients, visitors, and the community. Patient and visitor parking will remain available throughout the project, but drivers should expect to be rerouted to different parking areas as work progresses.

Traffic control personnel will be on-site as needed to help direct vehicles and ensure safe and efficient access to the hospital. Additional parking is available at the Old Courthouse lot located just below the hospital for anyone who chooses to use it. If special assistance is needed to travel from the Old Courthouse lot to the hospital, arrangements can be made with the hospital’s maintenance team during daytime hours only.

“We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we work through this important project,” said Jane Clement, Regional Director of Marketing, Legislative Affairs and Strategy. “Our goal is to continue supporting every patient, every day by improving accessibility and ensuring a safe, welcoming experience for everyone coming to the hospital.”

Regular project updates will be posted on our website at kch.hhsc.org and shared on our social pages at Facebook and Instagram @westhawaiiregion.
