HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - A Leeward Oahu outpatient clinic will likely be named in honor of a beloved Hawaii congressman.
Hawaii’s congressional delegation announced plans to name the Advanced Leeward Outpatient Health Care Access, or “ALOHA” Project after the late Senator Daniel Kahikina Akaka.
He initially spearheaded the project during his time working alongside Hawaii veterans.
On Wednesday, the Department of Veterans Affairs announced Hunt Companies won the lease to begin construction on the facility, which is set to be completed by the fall of 2024.
