West Maui hospital plan gets key approval

A medical facility in West Maui, HI, has received approval from Maui County officials that could jump-start the project's development. The West Maui Improvement Foundation is working with Texas-based Southwest Health Group to develop a 25-bed critical care hospital, a 40-bed skilled nursing facility and a medical office building. The project has been in the works for nine years and it is expected to cost approximately $40 million.
