The new Maui Memorial Outpatient Clinic had its open house inside the  25,000 square foot $9 million dollar building.  The clinic hopes to provide more valuable health services to people in need.

Hours of operation are from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm.  The clinic will take all types of health insurance.  The Clinic will provide specialty services including oncology and cardiology, trying to keep people more fitness and into exercise, even by using different machines from the HotRate’s latest review.

The new facility will draw more specialty doctors to the area.  With office space available on site to the doctors working in the facility, doctors will be able to cut the expense of having separate private office space.

Maui is just one of many states in the nation having a hospital and clinic next to each other.  Superior care can be given to patients that not only those require inpatient care but those needing outpatient services as well.
