Located at 17 La’a Street, Unit B, this new facility offers Maui residents increased access to patient-centered cancer care close to home.
The clinic is staffed by board-certified medical oncologists Dr. Melvin P. Palalay and Dr. David J. Tamura, along with nurse practitioner Judy Ko, RN, MSN, APRN. The Hawai’i Cancer Care – Kahului clinic is open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and features private exam rooms for consultations as well as an infusion room.
