Physicians Office Building III Opens at The Queen's Medical Center

Many representatives from the community gathered at POB III's dramatic new entrance for a formal blessing.

The Queen's Medical Center recently celebrated the grand opening and blessing of the Physicians' Office Building III (POB III). The event was major milestone for Queen's. Combined with POBs I and II, the Queen's campus is now home to the single largest concentration of physicians in the State of Hawaii. All three POBs offer a convenient downtown location and easy access to the advanced technologies and treatments at Queen's.

Formerly the Honolulu Medical Group building, POB III, which sits on the corner of South Beretania and Lauhala Streets, has been completely renovated with a modern, new entrance and lobby. About 25,000 square feet were added to the existing building for a total of approximately 100,000 square feet.

In addition to the close proximity of the many services at The Queen's Medical Center, POB III offers a Diagnostic Laboratory Services (DLS) branch in the lobby, a POB III Pharmacy, Queen's Imaging services and a cozy coffee and snack bar.

"[Having] the largest concentration of doctors anywhere in the State...means our patients will have access to many more doctors—both primary care and specialists—in one location," said Mark Yamakawa, QMC Executive Vice President for Corporate Development. "We are confident that the physicians and services available at POB III will enhance the overall patient experience for everyone who comes to Queen's for care."
