Maternity services on Maui
Quality care for mom and baby
At Kaiser Permanente, you have access to 24/7 advice, high-quality clinical services, and compassionate support from our connected team of caregivers. In addition to our primary care physicians, ob-gyn providers, and certified nurse-midwives, we offer a full spectrum of subspecialties that include maternal and fetal medicine for high-risk pregnancies, gynecological oncology, urogynecology, reproductive endocrinology, and infertility treatment.
From prenatal to pediatrics
Our integrated care system creates a seamless transition and continuum of care for you and your baby. Everyone on your care team can see your health history, collaborate quickly, and seamlessly connect you to the care you need — from prenatal specialty care to pediatric visits. This integration allows your entire team to provide quality care and helps prevent care gaps.
Expanded care and support for expectant parents
KP Connected
Receive top-notch pregnancy care from your home while being directly connected with your clinician’s office. With our at-home toolkit, you can have a mix of video visits and in-person office visits tailored to your personal needs. Expectant birth parents will receive a kit that includes a blood pressure cuff and a fetal doppler (handheld ultrasound tool) for convenient at-home monitoring.
To find out more about our maternity care at-home option, ask your clinician for details.
Mom and Newborn Center
Located at our Maui Lani Medical Office in Wailuku, this first-of-its-kind clinic is aimed at providing vital follow-up care to birth parents and newborns. Within 48 hours of being discharged from the hospital, both baby and birth parent will undergo a thorough assessment, setting a new standard of care on Maui. The center adds the convenience of combining postpartum check-ups for both mom and baby in one visit, providing physical and emotional well-being assessments for mom, breastfeeding counseling and resources, as well as weight and other health monitoring for baby.
Centering Pregnancy
Beginning in September, Kaiser Permanente's Wailuku Medical Office will host group prenatal care support sessions that aim to foster a sense of community among pregnant members and their partners. These sessions, led by Kaiser Permanente physicians and certified nurse-midwives, allow you to get the information and tools you need to make healthy choices for you and your baby while sharing experiences with other expecting parents in a comforting, supportive environment.
For more information, talk to your clinician.

Switching to Kaiser Permanente:
Supporting you on Maui with access to obstetrics coverage and care
Kaiser Permanente provides access to essential maternity care and coverage on Maui. There are seven ob-gyn physicians at Kaiser Permanente who live and practice care on Maui. We have also hired additional clinicians to address the need for pregnancy coverage and care on the Valley Isle.
If you are having difficulty accessing pre-natal care on Maui, here are some options you can consider, depending on your current situation:
- Covered by your employer: Talk to your employer about enrollment options or visit your employer’s intranet site.
- Individuals and families: Contact a healthcare.gov assistor at localhelp.healthcare.gov/. Depending on your specific situation, healthcare.gov will determine if enrolling in a Kaiser Permanente Qualified Health Plan is an option. It is important for healthcare.gov to understand that you do not believe your current health plan is providing adequate access to pre-natal care.
- Uninsured or losing coverage: Go to kp.org/exploreoptions to answer a few simple questions and get customized options that fit your needs. You can also talk through your options to find the right plan by calling us at 1-800-270-4095. For TTY, call 711.
