Building healthier communities

Ease, accessibility and superior care are at the heart of the newly opened state-of-the-art Straub Benioff Medical Center – Mililani Clinic & Urgent Care.

Having opened in August, the clinic is a joining of Straub Benioff’s existing clinics at the Town Center of Mililani and Mililani Shopping Center, combining all existing and new services in one place.

“We want people and their families to be able to see their primary care providers, specialists, and get imaging and urgent care all in one convenient location,” says Dr. Sandra Noon, Hawai‘i Pacific Health chief of primary care. The new clinic is at the Town Center of Mililani.

At 24,000 square feet, it’s the largest in Straub Benioff’s extensive network of neighborhood clinics. With 55 exam rooms, it was built to meet the needs of current and future patients with spaces that can be easily adjusted for growth, new technology and expanded teams of doctors and providers.

Greeters welcome patients when they walk in and help guide them to the right areas. The clinic also has spaces for patient classes and other programs that can help to build a healthier community.

“When we broke ground in 2022, we envisioned a clinic that felt more welcoming than a traditional doctor’s office,” Noon says. “I’ve been a physician for more than 30 years, but even I can get a little nervous when I go to my doctor. The design and workflow of the Straub Benioff Mililani Clinic is open and meant to make patients feel comfortable the moment they walk through the doors.”

The clinic also has added urgent care, a service that HPH says is increasingly in demand. Urgent care at the new Straub Benioff Mililani Clinic is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The clinic now offers 3D mammograms so that women who need more detailed screenings can receive it in Mililani.

HPH is also expanding the clinic’s primary care team of doctors, and OB-GYNs and dermatologists will continue to be based there. In addition, “We plan to add to our rotation of visiting specialists,” Noon says. “We’re proud to say that the new clinic is really a modern, efficient space which will allow our health care teams to collectively work together to focus on our patients.”

HPH sports medicine doctors, rheumatologists and endocrinologists already see patients in Mililani, and there are plans to add even more specialties, giving patients a wider range of care right in their own neighborhood.

“The world is always changing. There is always something new on the horizon,” says Noon. “We realize that the key to providing the highest-quality health care is always being ready to adapt to new techniques, technologies and evolving patient needs. I often tell my staff that we should always aim for our true north, which is the health of our patients and community.”
